Abstract
Among the reports of the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement, probably none received so little public attention as that on criminal statistics. Statistics, even of the criminal variety, are dull at the best, and not calculated to whet the imagination. One murder may be the basis of a printed volume of gory details and misleading clues with everybody suspected from the parish curate to the author himself. But murders by the gross or bale leave all unmoved except the most hardened editorial commentator.
