How Criminals Are Made and Prevented
A Retrospect of Forty Years
Rev. J. W. Horsley, M.A.
Hon. Canon of Southwark, late and last Chaplain of Clerkenwell Prison.
Ever since his Chaplaincy of Clerkenwell prison, Canon Horsley has been a keen student of crime and its causes and an active worker in prison and social reform.
His new book deals largely with commercial morality as a cause of crime, but also with the general moral and social improvement in London (and some exceptions); progress in prison reform; increase in betting as a cause of crime; intemperance (especially amongst women) as a cause; infantile mortality; the medical care of the school-child; the transformation of the lads on the wrong path; the reformation of the hooligan; and recent literature on crime.
