The Relationship of Weather Conditions, Facial Characteristics, and Crime

Abstract

In accepting the following article for publication, the editor fully realized that the article would be viewed with much skepticism. However, the thesis which the author develops is based upon certain plausible assumptions and facts, and the article certainly does suggest an intriguing opportunity for further research and study designed to test the validity of the conclusions submitted by the author. Dr. Curry, a native of Boston, Massachusetts, received a degree of Doctor of Medicine from Munich University, and has done considerable research in the fields of aerodynamics and bioclimatics. He is the author of Yacht Racing: The Aerodynamics of Sails and Racing Tactics (1926 and 1948), in which he advanced certain theories that at first were criticized as unsound but which were later widely accepted-as evidenced by the subsequent publication of a book by Charles Geoffray Muller bearing the title 'Curry Was Right. The results of his medical research in the field of bioclimatics are reported in his book ''Bioklimatik,' which was published in Germany in 1946.-EDITOR.
