Written in the early 20th century, this collection encompasses discussions and articles focused on the state of prisons, the treatment of inmates, and societal perceptions of crime. The likely topic of the book revolves around the statistics of crime and various reform efforts within prison systems. In this issue, notable articles include an examination of criminal statistics by Eugene Smith, advocating for uniformity in record-keeping to accurately assess crime rates across states. Smith highlights the complexities of interpreting crime statistics due to variations in legal definitions and enforcement practices. Other features discuss the Canadian parole system, the Massachusetts Prison Association's initiatives to enhance prison conditions, a new design for prisons emphasizing humane treatment, and innovative models for dealing with inebriates.
