Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Police Court Friends With the Colours My registers show that in these seventeen years last past I have visited sixteen thousand seven hundred and thirty-eight men and lads in their own homes, having followed them from the Police Court after prosecution for breaches of the law. The offences were mostly trivial, arising out of mischievous rather than criminal tendencies. Among the great bulk of the men it was idleness, drink, or gambling that caused their appearance before the Bench; with the lads, evil home influence, lack of discipline, above all, lack of worthy companions and friends, lay at the root of their misdoings. Thanks to a variety of means of help put into operation for their benefit by numerous persons, most of these were stayed in their evil course at its beginning. A few, a very few, developed into criminals. I have continued to do what 1 could even for these, some of whom are now serving with the colours. But the following sketches have nothing whatsoever to do with them. Another day it may be my privilege to deal with the problem of the confirmed criminal, be he monotonously sentenced to term after term of ordinary imprisonment or condemned to a long period of penal servitude.
