INCREASE IN CRIME IN AMERICA
ONE MAJOR BREACH OF LAW EVERY 22 SECONDS
(Received February 17, 6.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, February 16. The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that there was a decided increase in crime in the United States during 1937. There was one major crime every 22 seconds. CHANGES IN BRITAIN’S PRISON POLICY (British Official Wireless) Received February 17, 6.30 p.m.) RUGBY, February 16. The Home Secretary (Sir Samuel Hoare) in a speech said he believed that if the policy represented by the changes in prison life in the past six months were expanded, so far from making more criminals in the future and making prisons pleasant places for evil-doers there would be less crime because fewer criminals would come back after they had once served their sentence and more of them would be re-established as law-abiding citizens.
