Abstract

The Human Criminal
Lane, Winthrop D. | January 28, 1925 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "The Criminal As a Human Being," by George S. Dougherty. This is an interesting and novel point of view in a detective. There is indication, however, that Dougherty does not understand the criminal and his treatment as thoroughly as he thinks he does. Only the first chapter of his book deals with the criminal as a human being. The rest is devoted to the arts of shadowing and roping, the methods of criminals, the peculiarities of blackmailers, dinner thieves, stick-up men, and house-prowlers, the real city detective, and so on-the anecdotes and chat of a professional "bull." Dougherty soon forgets the wisdom of his first chapter.
