C. ^ Uuderiyiiif Causes of Crime. The so called crime, wave has been much discussed. Authori ties on crime believe that the continual printing of crime sto ries with pictures and minute de tails probably incites certain types of minds to the thought of crime. A leader In crime study says he does not believe the oft ex pressed thought that the late war tended to produce criminals, for few in the ranks were of the type to make professional crimi nals' He states that those who were children in the years from 1914 to I92l, are now young peo ple; that during the war they leard many unwholesome thoughts expressed. They heard their elders talking about how to get all the sugar and other essen tials they could, despite govern ment appeals for conservation. hey saw develop a spirit of de fiancee and individual disregard of law. The average person’s income was greatly increased, extrava gant ideas were developed by /children and growups. Many preferred to indulge in great lux uries rather than pay taxes pre scribed by law. The habits ex tended beyond the family through institutions. There de veloped an unwholesome atmos phere breathed by the children of the age, which ctiildrtn are now the young men and women from w^hora the majority of those committing crimes come. The fact that this theory may not be in accord with that held by the majority, is one of the justifications for the existence of the National Crime Commission hlch^is trying .to, assimilate all Jhttf theories it can ^Ing togeth- to ^evolve frop^; them reasonable explanations and practical remedies.
