Abstract
On the 15th day of last December, Mexico had a new penal system established according to the new penal and procedural codes issued in October, 1929, by President Emilio Portes Gil, using the special powers given to him by the Mexican congress. These new codes abolish capital punishment and supress the jury, substituting for the latter a council of experts who shall make a diagnosis of the cases and will advise on the treatment required for the criminals. American specializing in criminology and sociology have been interested in the advancement accomplished by the Mexican criminology, and some distinguished sympathizers of these codes have praised in very voluble terms this new tendency in Mexico.
