Abstract
By way of introduction, your committee states that it has been the understanding of its members that the committee was not appointed merely to formulate measures that would change present laws but to suggest such changes as may be necessary. Legislation without improvement is to be condemned. The desire to write new laws upon the statute books is not sufficient excuse for change. Therefore, at the beginning of the task the committee felt that it should investigate rather than suggest amendments based on mere defects or current criticism. To this end, tlhe field was divided into two general parts: 1. The criminal law prior to the time of punishment. 2. The proper treatment of convicted persons.
