T NTERESTED in the special prob- lems that face Frederick Mackenzie many vears ago went to live in the Bast End of Lon- don, perhaps the most fruitful field that the world holds for first-hand study of the abjectly poor. of the hope- lessly submerged. Out of this experi- ence Mr. Mackenzi mind turned upon crime, exemplified day and night all around him in this London quar- ter. The young, the old. the single eriminal, criminal gangs, were all here engaged in lawlessness of every kind and degree. AndeMr. Mackenzie be- gan then and there to make a study of this subject, always from the stand- point of the criminal himself. There is no other way to approach such study, so the author maintains. What kind of man is this criminal, or that one? What led him to war against his kind? W the drive of outer circumstance? What the mental twist, if there were one of the moral warp ‘What in his home life, in education, in training, or in the lack of these, | failed to hold him within the bond of lawful behavior? Such are the ques- tions that led this criminologist to ap- proach each of the subjects studied by him. And under such lead he has offered studies of eight celebrated criminal cases of the past 20 years. ‘The two Chicago hoys are in this com- pany, the Russian Rasputin also, Henri Landru, “the French Blue- beard” of many murderf, and other sensational cases come forward here for an examination into motive, into personal psychology, into method. into the ultimate reactions of the crime upon the criminal himself and upon society as well. A serious study whose definite purpose is to get as near to the truth of the matter as the complex and puzzling nature of man permits an intelligent student, a practical psychologist, a trained journalist to come through determined and devoted effort.
