Abstract

Despite curtailments due to the depression, several developments have taken place: in the field of penology along the lines of classification, new types of detention (with recognition of the value of minimum security confinement), education (with emphasis upon individual treatment), and prison labor; in police work along the lines of departmental reorganization for greater efficiency, regional police organization, use of radio and scientific crime detection, and prevention. Increased attention has been given to statistics of crime. The committee to study Ohio Judicial Statistics issued several reports in 1932.
