SOCIETY AND THE
CRIMINAL...
A coon many years have elapsed since it was usual to treat persons convicted of offences against the English criminal code as proper objects of social vindictiveness, In these days the aim of judges and others who are called upon to dea! with wrongdoers is reformative rather than punitive. The subject
has come prominently to the front recently in England on a statement by Sir WILLIAM Joykson-Hices, the Home Secretary, who made a tour

It is the general opinion of re- ponsible observera in England that this whole-hearted condemnation of the "short sentenes is fully war Tanted, for it has proved to be utterly useless in the vast majority of cases. In practice it is prone to turn a feckless man into a habitual criminal. The aim of re- formers should be to prevent one receiving the "prison taint," if it be at all possible. Once a man has been in prison, has lost his self-respect and socini standing, his job and no hope of Anding an- other job on his release-the evil is done. He drifts back to prison almost inevitably.
