EDUCATING ANTI-CRIME SENTI-
MENT j
Sensible efforts which seek to edu-
cate public sentiment against crime
constitute a valuable aid in the more
or less general attempt to combat the
so-called crime wave. It is natural
for the civilized person to disap>ove
of crime in the abstract, yet between
this technical disapproval and the j
attitude that would make the j
average citizen a unit of an active
force for discouraging crime there is
a great difference; and it is a dif-
ference largely of education. Un-
educated public sentiment leads to
sporadic and hysterical outbursts of
disapproval of violations of the law.
, eofciaPy crimes of violence, in
which injustice1 is done more often
than justice and which, therefore,
contribute more to the disrepute of
the iaw than to its respect.
It is against this tendency of the
popular mind that crusaders who are
taking the question of "crime pre-
vention” before the people should di-
rect their efforts. The arresting
prevalence of crime in this country
is due to many causes. Not even the
best minds of the country Ifcve been
able to get all of Fhtm clear, nor to
agree upon any considerable list of
them. We need a new legal and ju-
dicial system to replace the anti-
quated judicature and procedure that
so patently has failed under modern
conditions. But in whatever system
social engineers may devise as most
suitable to present conditions, the
jury will continue to be the keystone
The public' makes the juries, and so
long as individuals are prone to de-
part from impartial justice, either
toward leniency or harshness, we
sh^ll have inequality and errors in
law application which tend to reduce
tne prestige of law.
For this reason, the public requires
education in anti-crime sentiment,
and all proper attempts to further
inis education are to be commended.
