First published in 1937, The Criminals We Deserve asks what kind of criminals does our society deserve? Some people thought that our crime problem was less serious than formerly. Mr. Rhodes, on the other hand, shows how profound changes which took place in our social institutions during the thirty years before 1937, had altered the nature of modern crime, making it more dangerous to society. He explains how our social organization determined the nature of our crime problem, and illustrates his thesis with many strange and arresting examples of criminal behaviour in which tragedy and comedy are often mingled. This book will be of interest to students of criminology, history and sociology.
