GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE MODERN CRIMINAL SCIENCE SERIES.
AT the National Conference of Criminal Law and Criminology, held in Chicago, at
Northwestern University, in June, 1909, the American Institute of Criminal Law and
Criminology was organized; and, as a part of its work, the following resolution was
passed:
``Whereas, it is exceedingly desirable that important treatises on criminology in foreign
languages be made readily accessible in the English language, Resolved, that the
president appoint a committee of five with power to select such treatises as in their
judgment should be translated, and to arrange for their publication.''
The Committee appointed under this Resolution has made careful investigation of the
literature of the subject, and has consulted by frequent correspondence. It has selected
several works from among the mass of material. It has arranged with publisher, with
authors, and with translators, for the immediate undertaking and rapid progress of the
task. It realizes the necessity of educating the professions and the public by the wide
diffusion of information on this subject. It desires here to explain the considerations
which have moved it in seeking to select the treatises best adapted to the purpose.
For the community at large, it is important to recognize that criminal science is a larger
thing than criminal law. The legal profession in particular has a duty to familiarize itself
with the principles of that science, as the sole means for intelligent and systematic
improvement of the criminal law.
Two centuries ago, while modern medical science was still young, medical practitioners
proceeded upon two general assumptions: one as to the cause of disease, the other as to
its treatment. As to the cause of disease,--disease was sent by the inscrutable will of God.
No man could fathom that will, nor its arbitrary operation. As to the treatment of disease,
there were believed to be a few remedial agents of universal efficacy. Calomel and
bloodletting, for example, were two of the principal ones.
