Abstract

The Mind of a Criminal
de Ford, Miriam Allen | July 24, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "Stealing Through Life," by Ernest Booth. The chief drawback to the work of the criminologist has been, up to date, the absence of articulate clinical material. The criminal has been viewed objectively, but seldom or never has revealed himself subjectively. Books have been written by convicts true-many of them. But either they have been the work of political or industrial prisoners, who are not criminals in any true sense, or they have been concerned principally with the prison experiences of their writers.
