The forebears of London's present population for generations back were Englishmen, bred to English customs and traditions, just as the forefathers of modern Parisians were Frenchmen, born to French institutions and ideals. In New York, Chicago and other large cities of the United States there are hundreds of thousands of residents whose mothers or fathers or both were born abroad. If we add this class to the foreign-born population, of which we have been speaking, to form what may be called the foreign stock element, we find that it comprises 80% of New York's population, and that of the total number, amount ing to nearly three-fourths came of non-eng lish speaking people.1 Similarly, this foreign-stock ele ment constitutes the majority of the population in the nineteen largest cities of the United States. In other words, the native white population of native parentage amounts to less than one-fifth the total population of New York and less than one-fourth of the populations of Chicago, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit and Milwaukee; while in cities like Fall River, Massachusetts, it consti tutes little more than In only fourteen of the fifty largest cities of America does the native parentage population equal fifty per cent of the total.

Book excerpt: This book is a reprint of the 1920 publication. The book is based upon personal study of the police in practically every city in the United States with a population exceeding 100,000, and in many communities of lesser size. In all, seventy-two cities were visited. The author takes to task the police of the early twentieth century for anti-labor union attitudes and operations but is himself guilty of anti-Negro, anti-alien bias -- the latter somewhat surprising since he is so outspoken an admirer of the German, French and English police. His comparisons of Euro pean and American crime rates, despite the sorry state of crime statistics then and now, stand up quite well -- as do his some, what superficial analyses of the reasons for the differences they show. The author also had an opportunity to follow up certain lines of research in London and Paris, so that the comparisons between European and American conditions occurring in the book are based upon the latest information available at that time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Celebrated Criminal Cases of America The hundred and ten cases presented in this volume should prove interesting to the general reader because of the psycho logical and, in many cases, the historical interest which attaches to them. This book also contains a brief history of the San Fran cisco Police' Department from the date of its organization; an accurate history of the far-famed Vigilance Committee; the Kearney riots; the life of Chief Justice Terry, including the famous duel in which he killed United States Senator Broder ick and his tragic death while assaulting Justice Field of the United States Supreme Court; also a synopsis of the police and municipal history of the great earthquake and fire, which contains much information which has not heretofore been published. While this volume will show that in some instances fabu lous amounts of money have been unlawfully obtained, it will also show that retribution invariably overtakes the professional criminal and brings with it untold misery and degradation. Although there are isolated cases where the perpetrator of an atrocious crime succeeds in escaping the iron hand of the law, there is one court he cannot escape, and that is the one whose findings are incontrovertible and whose sessions are held in the chambers of his own breast. The dread of discovery is constantly with him by day and by night, and who can doubt but that he finally concludes that even an ignominious death on a scaffold would be preferable to such a miserable existence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Professional Criminals of America My experience as a judge in the principal criminal court of the city and county of New York, has assured me of the great value of the contents of this volume, and my knowledge of the writer permits me to cheerfully endorse the trustworthiness of the information with which his book is replete. In my estimation the circulation of the volume will tend to familiarize the public with the faces, appearance and methods of the army of malefactors who, with keen eyes and active brains, are forever watching and planning to their detriment. The author has spread his vast knowledge of the criminal classes in a simple, straightforward narrative of facts, and the book supplies a want long felt in the community. There cannot be the slightest doubt but that it will prove an important medium in the prevention and detection of crime, and I therefore cheerfully give it my fullest endorsement and recommendation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Uniform Crime Reports for the United States, 1961 Crime is a social problem and a community responsibility which crosses all walks of life. Yet from time to time unfair pressures, often political in nature, are brought to bear on a police department which has exposed a local crime problem. This happens despite the fact that law enforcement efforts to control crime are basically lim ited to effective preventive patrol and deterrence through successful investigation. Crime, like a disease, can only be treated after identification and full exposure. It cannot be erased by employing different and less repugnant terms for criminal acts, thus, in a sense, defining them out of existence. Law enforcement is a public service and as such imposes an obliga tion on each executive head of a department to advise his community of crime conditions, whether favorable or unfavorable, and the extent and the effectiveness of the police operation. For the most part, this is done through the use of crime statistics, which we in law enforce ment should look upon as a means to measure the blood pressure of the department. They will indicate weaknesses and strength, as well as suggest certain Operational and administrative needs; The purpose of crime reporting then is dual; namely, public disclosure and internal appraisal. Law enforcement records are the basic source of crime data, and the police executive, because of his daily experience with crime incidents, is uniquely qualified to interpret crime counts. It is extremely important that the chief or sheriff in releasing these numbers also make available his knowledge of their meaning. This should include the wide range of circumstances involved in each crime classification, general facts about the types of persons who commit these crimes, assistance that can be rendered by local citizens in reducing the opportunity for crime, and particularly the limitations of the police prevention and deterrence efforts. Although the responsibility for reversing our crime trend is vested in the entire community, law enforcement fulfills its obligation by effectively carrying out its traditional role and by taking the leader ship in directing community attention to specific crime problems, including public indifference.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Uniform Crime Reports for the United States: Printed Annually 1967 Perhaps never in our history has there been such widespread concern over crime and the capability of our criminal justice agencies to contend with it. The passage of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 is the result of a national demand for public order. This far-reaching Act, signed into law by the President, promises substantial financial and functional sup port to local and state law enforcement agencies. Achievement of this Act's objective - to improve the performance of law enforcement - will depend on wise application of the funds available and sound implementation of the Act's provisions by state and local agencies. As I stated on these pages last year, a vital need within the state is effective criminal justice statistical programs. Crime statistics are necessary if the states are to know the extent and nature of the crime problem and be in a position to intelligently plan for and evaluate their criminal justice systems. These programs are an essential part of statewide computerized information systems which are rapidly being developed. The fbi has been providing assistance to a number of states during the past several years in developing statewide programs of police statistics and stands ready to afford such assistance to all states upon request. The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act offers the states financial help in developing and implementing such systems, including a collection of police statistics. Uniform Crime Reports provides this country's only nationwide view of crime. This Program does present a practical measure of this Nation's most common local crime problems. Like the collection of other mass social data, it cannot be statistically pure. The development of state programs of police statistics will further improve the quality and completeness of Uniform Crime Reports. Certainly, any national collection of complete criminal justice statistics will require standards that can be obtained only through centralized state programs.
