Book Description
The author examines the correlation between poverty and crime in the late 19th century and recommends resolving the problems through prevention, reformation, and extinction. He offers the idea of prohibiting marriage between criminal and "defective" people as an antidote to the problems of poverty and criminality, saying, "Society must take cognizance of the reproduction of the race and correct the tendencies to degradation, as a measure of self-preservation. It is idle and foolish to waste energy, sympathy, and money in the hopeless effort to cure and restrain what should never have been permitted to exist. Physical degeneration must be corrected to promote regeneration."

Book Description
Excerpt from Prisoners and Paupers: A Study of the Abnormal Increase of Criminals, and the Public Burden of Pauperism in the United States; The Causes and Remedies There are four hundred and forty-six charitable, reformatory, and penal institutions in the State of Pennsylvania, inspected at least once each year by its Board of Public Charities. They have a wide variety of objects, methods, management, and inmates. The view which a member of this Board obtains, therefore, and the impressions he receives of pauperism and criminality are of a very general nature, inducing a consideration of the subject as a whole. Most of the literature of these subjects, on the contrary, is confined to particular and distinct phases of them. I have endeavored in this book to present this general view of the case as it appears in our country; to emphasize the waste of human sympathy and public funds which results from what appears to be inconsiderate and misdirected methods of treatment; to suggest not only possible improvements in these methods, but radical changes in direction; and, finally, I have proposed a positive remedy, which, however people may disagree concerning its practicability, I think no intelligent person will deny to be efficacious.
