^ 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.
