CURRENT EVENTS.

PROFESSIONAL CRIMINALS-At the last meeting of the American Bar Association in August, 1885, the Committee on Jurisprudence and Law Reform, made a report on a resolution which seems to have been pending in that body since 1882, suggesting the proper principle which should control the treatment of habitual and professional criminals.

After noticing the French practice on this subject which requires that persons convicted of serious crimes should remain for life under police supervision; and the "ticket of leave" system of England initiated in 1840, the report discusses the whole subject with marked ability, and concludes by recommending the adoption of three resolutions. The first favors the enactment of laws in every State, for keeping a complete record of every person convicted of felony or grave misdemeanor, for publishing such records, and exchanging them for like publications in other States, together with a free use of the photographer's art in aid of the cause of justice. Second, the committee recommends that in every State laws should be enacted, sentencing all persons who have been twice

con

victed of felony or grave misdemeanor to police supervision for life, or a stated term of years, and to political disfranchisement. Third, that drafts of such laws should be carefully prepared under the auspices of the association with a view to their adoption by the several States.

These resolutions produced a spirited debate which resulted in a postponement of the whole subject until the next meeting of the association.

The report and resolutions were briefly noticed in this JOURNAL Soon after the adjournment of the association,1 and we recur to the subject now chiefly to draw the attention of the profession to it, as the time is now near at hand when it will be again called up in the association, and will, no doubt, elicit a very

121 Cent. Law Journal, 241. Vol. 23.-No. 1.

exhaustive debate in that body. The line of legislation recommended by the committee seems so judicious and desirable, that we wonder, not a little, at the vehemence of the opposition manifested on the "skirmish line" of the preliminary debate-"so opposed to the teachings of Christianity, so inhuman," are very strong terms to apply to a proposition to enable officers of the law to "keep the run" of notorious and duly convicted malefactors. It is certainly not an outrage to require a person who has been pronounced by the law to be a suspicious or dangerous character, to report periodically at police headquarters and to give an account of himself, and, as in France, when he changes his residence, to do so only upon a passport, and upon his arrival at his destination, to pay the local authorities the compliment of a personal call. As to disfranchisement, we cannot see that it is either inhuman or unchristian to deny the felon the right to vote or hold office. There are so many men in the United States who are authorized, and generally ready and willing to do either, or both, that the country will probably survive even if the felon's name be stricken from the list.

The resolutions proposed by the committee appear to us well calculated to lead the minds of the profession, and of legislators, into a branch of jurisprudence which has been too much neglected: the prevention of crime. Except the peace warrant, the statutory destruction by officers of gambling implements, and of illicit distilleries, we cannot at this moment recall any cases in which the law acts upon the purely and literally preventive system. When the incorrigible rogue has served out his term in the State prison, he is at perfect liberty to resume the practice of his profession, without hindrance from the law, or serious molestation from its officers. He is not bound to give any account to any one of his coming and going, nothing can be done to prevent his committing another burglary whenever an eligible apportunity may be offered. The bully and desperado may be bound over to keep the peace after he has paid his fine or submitted to the imprisonment inflicted for his last fight, and no doubt thinks it an outrage that he can not be permitted to thrash any body for twelve long months; but against the burglar, expert and professional, as he is,
