Note 29 — Chapter II · THE STATISTICIANS.
Henry P. (Henry Pomeroy) Horton translation
On p. 442 of his “Moralstatistik,” von Oettingen criticises Stursberg for basing his comparison upon the year 1871 in which the figures were very low as a consequence of the war, and for not having taken into account that in the year 1876 the new penal code was put into effect. ↑
