Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Departmental Committee on Persistent Offenders: Presented by the Secretary of State for the Home Department to Parliament by Command of His Majesty, May 1932
In some of them the tendencies which lead to persistence in wrong doing may have developed long before the offender is charged in a court of law and it may at that stage be exceedingly difficult, or perhaps impracticable, to devise corrective measures which will be efficacious but the way in which an offender is treated on his first appearance in Court on a criminal charge is likely to have a momentous effect for good or for evil on his' subsequent career. The action taken by the Court at this critical juncture may greatly diminish or greatly increase the chances of his becoming a persistent ofiender in the future.
