1914. So used are we to witnessing new laws made and fresh crimes created, as well as the constant punishing of all sorts of citizens - a punishment being always the cheapest and easiest substitute for a positive remedy - that it is scarcely remarkable that men generally acquiesce. The author has therefore tried to analyze the theories and assumptions on which the criminal laws are founded, and to exhibit their falsity. Contents: Penal methods of the middle ages; With trials; Treatment of the insane; Banishment; Origin of the cell prisons; Penitentiary experiments; the model system; Breakup of the model; Penal servitude; Military despotism; Silent system; Visitation of the sick; Monotony; Conventional view; Instinct of retaliation; Classification of crimes and offenders; Direction of reform; Practical prisons.
