Excerpt from Report of the Commission to Investigate the Question of the Increase, 1911
The mere diminution in the ratio of persons committed to prison, however, would not in itself prove a corresponding de crease in crime. This diminishing ratio shows the increasing reluctance of judges to send a man to prison, and the tendency to substitute fines, suspended sentences, or probation for im prisonment. To a certain extent it also indicates a decrease in the number of criminals and in the number of crimes committed.
The above tables have considered all offences, including mere misdemeanors and the more serious crimes. The three following tables consider the more serious crimes only, viz., felonious as sault, rape, robbery, manslaughter and murder, etc.
