i XC A } ot mn -- January 8, 1927 WINNETKA TALK n CROSSLEY REPORTS ON CRIME CENSUS OF U. §. Wilmette Lawyer. Heads Com- mittee Which Is Conducting Research for Government Frederick B. Crossley, 600 Wash- ington avenue, Wilmette secretary of Northwestern university law school, and chairman of the committee for criminal records and statistics, an- nounces the completion of this exten- sive research work in criminal statis- tics, and that committee is issuing its new book. While the expenses for this important compilation of criminal statistics have been borne by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and the Laura Spell- man foundation, it is the plan of the federal government through the bu- | report, | reau of census to issue the Chairman Crossley states. "The census bureau heretofore has | compiled statistics for prisoners only once in ten years, but, beginning with 1927, will undertake to collect and pub- lish annual statistics based upon the scheme of records recommended in the report of the committee and contained in the hand book of instructions. This hand book will be forwarded by the director of the census to the state de- partments of the various states, to | wardens and superintendents of pris- | ons and reformatories, to hospitals for | mental diseases and institutions feeble minded and epileptics. "The bureau of the census is under- taking to collect and publish these statistics in response to a general de- mand for more complete and satis- factory statistics relating to crime and to criminals. One of the chief diffi- culties in dealing with the problem of crime in the United States has been the lack of complete and satisfactory statistics, and until such statistics are available those having the most to do with the problems of crime and crim- inology believes that there can be no effective method of dealing with crim- inal problems in any jurisdiction."
