| Summary | "Mental Defectives and Sexual Offenders" is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. This report provides a comprehensive examination into the necessity for specialized care and treatment of mentally defective individuals and sexual offenders in New Zealand. The main topics include the impact of mental deficiency on society, historical context, and proposed solutions for improving care and controlling the proliferation of these vulnerable populations. The opening of the book presents the establishment of a Committee of Inquiry set up by the Minister of Health to address growing public concerns regarding the rising numbers of mental defectives and sexual offences. It details the committee's composition, purpose, and the breadth of its investigation, which included visits to various institutions and hearings from numerous witnesses. Early discussions highlight two distinct yet interconnected issues: the alarming increase in mental deficiencies and the need for effective interventions in the realm of sexual offences. The report sets the stage for a thorough analysis of educational measures, legal provisions, and societal implications surrounding these pressing issues.
