Crime: Its Cause and Treatment (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169264175)

Crime: Its Cause And Treatment is a book written by Clarence Darrow, a renowned American lawyer and civil rights advocate. The book delves into the complex issue of crime and its various causes, as well as the different approaches to its treatment. Darrow examines the social, economic, and psychological factors that contribute to criminal behavior, and argues that the root causes of crime are often rooted in poverty, inequality, and societal injustices. The book also explores the various methods used to address crime, such as punishment, rehabilitation, and prevention. Darrow criticizes the traditional approach of punishment, arguing that it often fails to address the underlying causes of criminal behavior and can even exacerbate the problem. Instead, he advocates for a more holistic approach that takes into account the social and economic factors that contribute to crime, and focuses on prevention and rehabilitation rather than punishment.Throughout the book, Darrow draws on his extensive experience as a lawyer and his deep understanding of the criminal justice system to provide a nuanced and insightful analysis of the issue of crime. The book is a thought-provoking and timely exploration of a topic that continues to be a major concern for society today.All natural phenomena affect the activities of man. It has been repeatedly observed that the number of crimes of assault and murder increases in the summer months and fluctuates with extreme heat or a cooler temperature. The nervous system of man is responsive to all sorts of physical and psychological influences, and criminologists take these into account in considering crime, as doctors take them into account in treating disease. Man is influenced by substantially all the things that affect other structures and by many things that do not.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
