Book Description

Excerpt from The Prison Association and Its Field: The Sixty-Eighth Annual Report of the Prison Association of New York, 1912 The above question, as to what the Prison Association is, is a sign of the times. Serious and complicated problems of public and private conduct are engaging the attention of Americans. During 1912, the events preceding and following the murder of Herman Rosenthal in New York City in July centered public attention upon the problems of crime and its treatment as seldom before. Subsequent investigations of graft and maladministration of office have led to a state of public concern perhaps not even equalled at the period of the Lexow investigations of police conduct.
