This 1918 work is the first American textbook on criminology. Based on years of experience with criminals in courts and prisons in the United States and contemporary research in Europe, the author presents a comprehensive survey of the field of crime and the justice system, including origins, evolution, politics, demographics, and sociology. The book includes an early discussion of arguments for and against the death penalty.
