As of April 1, 1931, a Report on Criminal Statistics by the President's National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement was published. It was not to be expected that a document on a subject practically unheard of by most people, emanating from however noteworthy a source, should arouse very widespread interest or response. It was to be expected, however, on the part of the more or less circumscribed body of experts and officials intimately concerned with the study and administration of criminal justice, that a substantial contribution in a hitherto sadly neglected quarter would at last be made. Only a thorough examination of the report can reveal the full extent of the disappointment involved. The report proper occupies just 18 pages. The following 72 pages consist of a Survey of Criminal Statistics in the United States for the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement
