Note 64 — CRIMINALITY.
Henry P. (Henry Pomeroy) Horton translation
If we remember that in 1890 persons from 12 to 18 years of age formed 12.75% of the population,64 the study of this table will show how large a part the young play in certain crimes, and in crime in general. Still it must not be forgotten that criminal statistics include only a part of the crimes really committed, and that this affects particularly the figures for juvenile crime, since the persons injured make complaint against the young less readily, on account of pity.65
