Note 272 — CRIMINALITY. (continued 2)
Henry P. (Henry Pomeroy) Horton translation
1,949 (1.5%) out of 126,717 women convicted in the years 1891–1895 were prostitutes.272 Here also it must be taken into account that this number is made up only of prostitutes by occupation, and that those who follow it as an auxiliary calling are grouped under other occupations. Also, L. Ferriani, in his “Minderjährige Verbrecher”, concludes that of the 460 young female criminals studied by him, 243 (52.8%) were prostitutes.273
