MEXICO'S REVOLUTIONIZES CRIMINAL LAW
Mantel Hugien* Bulletin: The roovt radical the-
ories of reform in the management of antl-ecctal
offereoders ever propounded by studente of the social
science of criminology In tie oountry or In Europe will
be tried out In ectual practice under the terms of the
new Penal Code which Mexico adopted du. log the
latter days of the administration of Fortes OU and
which went into effect on January let..
The new code effects such revolutionary changes
in Judicial and penal procedures as the abolition of
the traditional Jury, doing away entirely with the
death penalty for chrU crimes and the substitution of
social, medical psychiatric and educational study and
treatment of the individual offender, by a commission
of experts, for the usual methods of conviction, sen-
tencing and imprisonment.
The body charged with the duty of social rehabili-
tating the criminal, instead of meting out mere pun-
ishment, Is the “Supreme Council of Social Prevision
and Defense," which consists of five members, all
specialists in penology, criminology or related social
sciences, who will hgew^fon authority over all penal
and correction^pn^Titutions. This council takes up the

have visited De Leon and agreed to
buy all the crop that may be grown
and at a fixed price, thus practical-

crop. All who know the De Leon
section know that there are many
hundred acres there specially adapt-
