Rome’s Responsibility for Juvenile Crime.—The Protestant Truth Society, 28 Queen Victoria Street, London, E.C.4. By the Rev. H. D. Longbottom.
The menace of Roman Catholicism and the question of Juvenile Crime are two problems generally regarded as distinct and unrelated. After reading the above mentioned publication, however, it will be seen that the two are to a great extent one and the same. No doubt many other causes contribute their share to the large amount of crime among young people to-day, but the conclusion to which this pamphlet leads us is,—“Juvenile criminality facts and figures reveal Roman Catholicism to be the most prolific parent of crime.” In support of this conclusion facts and figures are given from official sources which appear to be unchallengeable. The writer is an Alderman of Liverpool and a member of the Education Committee there, and on the problem on which he writes, has a wealth of personal experience extending over many years. The book costs 6d. (7d. post paid) and should be read by all interested in this vital matter.
