AB This is an extremely interesting pioneer work directed toward understanding the mental problems of criminals. The authors have worked with many prisoners and attempt an understanding of the cause, therapy and prevention of neurotic and psychiatric crimes. The work should be studied by prison administrators as well as physicians having to do with prisons. It is a sound psychiatric study and is the best of its kind so far attempted.
