The consideration of this question involves the police, the courts, the legal profession, the medical profession on questions of insanity, feeblemindedeness and other mental peculiarities, and the jails, houses of correction, prisons, honor camps, reformatories and hospitals for the mentally abnormal. However, it is not my intention to cover all these aspects of the question. In order to answer the question before us, yes or no, it is really necessary to compare the administration of the criminal law of Great Britain and Massachusetts, and this, at least in part, is not possible. Why not? Because the problems and the material to be handled are entirely different. (1) Traditions of autocracy, and submission to authority in England still persist. In America every street corner or country grocery store holds embryo congressmen or presidents. The government and citizenship here in America being one and the same, the citizens have not the awe and reverence for government that they have in England where the entire country is filled from end to end with the monuments of a great tradition. Consequently in Massachusetts we find a lessening respect for that law and order which proceeds from government and a laxity of control which seems to be a part of a democracy. (2) England is homogeneous in its population. It has no race problem. The forebears of England's present population for generations back were Englishmen, bred to English customs and traditions. To see the London "Bobby" at work, with no revolver or billy, dealing with people of his own race who understand him and whom he understands, is to learn a larger sympathy for his brother officer who walks the beat in our Massachusetts cities.

Is the Administration of Criminal Law in Great Britain Preferable to That Practised in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts?
