Crime and the Georgia Courts A Statistical Analysis Prepared by the DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE State Capitol, Atlanta, Georgia - FOR - The American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology, June, 1924 As Published in the Journal of the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology Vol. XVI, No.2, August, 1925 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS To the Hon. Clifford Walker, Governor of Georgia, and Edwin R. Keedy, Esq., President American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology. Atlanta, Ga., June 14, 1924. Gentlemen: The Department of Public Welfare presents herewith its report on a cross section study of crime statistics in Georgia. Under Section 10, Bill 186, Acts of 1919, the Department is charged with collecting, compiling and publishing "statistics and information regarding the dependent, defective and delinquent classes, both in and out of institutions," but because of lack of adequate appropriation has never until now been able to comply with this requirement of the law. The present study was made possible by the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology, which completely financed it, upon the Department's consent to undertake the work. All credit for the study and report goes to Boyce M. Edens and Hugh N. Fuller. Mr. Edens, who was the efficient and progressive director of the Departments division of adult delinquency from 1920 to April, 1924, planned and directed the survey and wrote the introduction to the report. Mr. Fuller personally briefed the 12,000 odd criminal records, prepared the text of the report and on Mr. Edens' resignation was prevailed upon to give up his law practice and become director of the division of adult delinquency. Mr. James Bronson Reynolds, former President of the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology, through whom the funds were obtained from the Institute to finance the survey, gave most liberally of his counsel and his interest was a constant source of inspiration and helpfulness. His zeal for constructive administration of justice was without parallel and never flagged until his sad death on January first, 1924. Mr. E. Marvin Underwood of the Atlanta Bar, formerly Assistant United States Attorney General, gave counsel which was a most valuable aid to the work in a myriad of ways. The judges, clerks, solicitors and other court officials cheerfully gave earnest, helpful co-operation. We are greatly indebted to the Georgia Industrial Commission for the loan of a tabulating machine; to Dr. W. C. Davis, Director of the Georgia Bureau of Vital Statistics, for his counsel and guidance in statistical methods and problems, and to Mr. N eel A. Massey, local manager of the Tabulating Machine Company, whose technical advice and guidance in the tabulating methods and materials employed was most helpful. Respectfully yours, RHODA KAUFMAN, Secretary. 3 INTRODUCTION The cry of "Crime Wave" has gone up recently from almost every quarter with varying degrees of intensity. Usually the author in proclaiming such a social upheaval attempts to set out in different detail certain statistics to prove some particular theory or idea as to the increase of crime in a given city or locality. Usually "The shouting and the tumult die" and the criminal courts continue to grind out the vast number of unfortunates coming before them for some sort of disposition. What do we really know of the extent and scope of crime in our state and throughout the country, and what really happens to these miscreants insofar as the courts are concerned? But very little do we know of these things in actual figures from a statewide, sectional or national standpoint. Great stress has been laid upon the number and treatment of the delinquent, both juvenile and adult, in jails, prisons and reformatories, but small and scattering attention has been paid to him before he reaches these institutions we have established for his punishment. Mankind has made great strides in giving battle to enemies. that once threatened it. Cholera, yellow fever, plague, smallpox no longer menace our country. Typhiod fever, that, within our own time used to take yearly toll of nearly twenty thousand lives in this country, is well under control. Tuberculosis, the greatest destroyer of them all, has now lost its terrors, and weapons have been forged in combating these social enemies that make ultimate victory seem almost certain. Many of mankind's most terrifying spectres are being laid low. Let us hope that the day is near when we will recognize no invincible foe to which we must submit in ignorance or dread. There is another outstanding evil that still exists in our midst, however, whose magnitude and seriousness make it a menace to civilization, a condition that is undoubtedly on the increase and that threatens the destruction of the social fabric. We call it "Crime" and have steadfastly legislated against it from time to time with great vigor. We' have -fitted the law with a penalty for each crime which we commonly think will strike fear to the person who contemplates its breaking. This fear we think will deter him from his evil designs, but in spite of our intentions crime continues on and on, gaining recruits by leaps and bounds. The time is at hand when we should turn our attention to this spectre that stalks in (jur midst. Those same scientific methods which have proven and are proving so successful in other fields of human endeavor, have not yet been applied on any broad scale in dealing with crime. 4 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS An examination of the history of all battles waged against any social menace, shows that before it can be put down, there must first be at least an intelligent understanding of the extent and scope of that menace. By extent is meant how prevalent it is, and by scope, what part of society is affected by it. We speak of birth rales and mortality rates. with considerable certainty because there has been provided a way in almost every state and the United States of ascertaining the number of births and deaths. We know to the person how many die of typhoid, malaria, smallpox, measles, diphtheria, tuberculosis and many other diseases. It was upon the basis of such accurate statistical knowledge that men of science have been inspired to spend years in laboratories in order to combat and forestall the ravages of disease. Crime with all of its ravages continues unabated largely for the lack of the same sort of intelligent understanding of the extent and scope of it as the beginning point from which to put it down. Our awakening to the extent and scope of crime in Georgia, as well as the disposition of it by the courts is at hand. Georgia should be proud that it has been given the opportunity to take the lead in respect to the production of this unique Crime Statistics Survey; the first of its kind in the United States and covering as it does 12,062 Criminal Court records in five Georgia counties. a In the conduct of the survey and the production of this report, the Department of Public Welfare hopes it has made significant contribution towards the better understanding of crime and its treatment by the courts. The intrinsic value of this report in all probability does not rest in a demand for it as popular reading matter. If that had been the case the Department would have employed a different method of presenting the facts obtained. Perhaps the highest purpose and broadest usefulness of this report will be realized only by its searching inferential study and consideration by the Governor of the State, the General Assembly, Criminal Court Judges, City and State Bar Associations, lawyers individually and in smaller groups, thoughtful laymen interested in the welfare of their less fortunate neighbors, social workers, doctors, psychiatrists and, last but not least, by the citizens of the five counties included in the survey. The report is especially submitted to public officials and professional men and women with the hope that it contains at least some information necessary to a better understanding of our criminal laws and how they are enforced, as well as what effect if any our present laws and methods of law enforcement are serving as deterrents to crime and criminals. Before the actual work 011 the survey was started it was hoped that 5 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS much helpful social history and information regarding the thousands of defendants could be obtained from the criminal court records. When it was ascertained that 28 out of every one thousand persons in the five counties included in the survey would be taken into consideration, the Department being interested more largely in the human aspects of the task before it, wished to present such facts for consideration of this most important element of the crime problem in Georgia. Laws defective in failing to prescribe the proper social content of criminal court records completely thwarted the survey in this respect. How many of these 12,000 odd human beings appearing before the bar of justice were youths between the ages of 16 and 21? How many were bread winners of families containing dependent wives and children? How many were first offenders? How many were confirmed criminals, recidivists seared with the brand of prison life? How many were negroes? How many were aged persons? What of the physical and mental condition of all of them? These and many other of the most necessary documentary elements were missing from the court records that were briefed. Even sex had to be determined by the defendants' given names which necessarily threw a small number into an inaccurate and "undetermined" classification. It is not that the criminal courts of Georgia lack a real human interest in the thousands of men, women and children passing before them and from that standpoint fail to keep adequate court records containing vital social history and something of the human frailties of the;e wards of society. It is only that those responsible for making the laws governing these matters and those who must enforce the laws need to be aroused to the understanding that without sufficient data of this kind respecting the criminal classes, we can neither study these classes in the light of their handicaps nor justly treat them. Thomas Mott Osborn said recently,t in speaking of retaliation as an incorrect purpose of a prison, "If we are to retaliate, it is essential that retaliation shall be just-'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'; but it is manifestly impossible to determine the exact amount of blame to be attached to the criminal himself. How can we be certain how much is due to inheritance, how much to early environment, how much to other matters over which the offender has no control whatever? If we cannot ascertain these, how can we tell just how much retaliation the offender deserves? When a man does not get enough punishment, it is bad; it encourages him to think he can always escape with less than his deserts; and thus crime is encouraged. When a man gets too much punishment it is l"Prisons and Common Sense," Atlantic Monthly, September, 1923, page 366. 6 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS bad; it makes him bitter and revengeful; and thus crime is encouraged. Failure results in either case, and the community suffers." The element of "Justice" which is the true leaven of the law, is being interpreted in some states in a new and constructive manner. New laws being enacted throughout the country make justice a two-fold proposition for consideration by the courts, viz.: Justice to society in providing to society the protection it requires against the offender, and justice to the offender himself. Some of these new laws pointedly take into consideration the human being with all of his handicaps in determining the extent to which he shall be punished, as well as the nature of his punishment. Witness one of these outstanding laws which provides for this consideration of the offender and the State (Massachusetts)1 : "Whenever a person is indicted by the grand jury for a capital offense or whenever a person who is known to have been indicted for any other offense more than once or to have been previously convicted of a felony, is indicted by the grand jury or bound over for trial in the Superior Court, the clerk of the court in which the indictment is returned shall give notice to the depar~ment of mental diseases, and the department shall cause such person to be examined with a view to determine his mental condition and the existence of any mental disease or defect which would affect his criminal responsibility. The department shall file a report of its investigations with the clerk of the court in which the trial is to be held, and the report shall be accessible to the court, the district attorney, and the attorney for the accused, and shall be admissible as evidence of the mental condition of the accused." Personal handicaps both physical and mental are coming to be more generally recognized as causative factors in human behavior, particularly in the conduct of the criminal recidivist. The National Committee for Mental Hygiene during the last few years, at the request of Governors and Legislatures has conducted surveys in some twenty odd states. The results of these surveys point conclusively to the fact that fully 75% of confirmed criminals are SUffering from mental and physical conditions that have everything to do with their delinquent behavior. Studies by this Committee also indicate that 2. out of every 3 children appearing before certain juvenile courts show some important mental and physical defects. An accurate mental diagnosis of 234 inmates of seven county jails in South Carolina at a given time revealed that 56% were handicapped by some abnormal mental condition; 64.2% of the inmates in the Penitentiary of that State were also found to be some sort of mental or physical defective. Surely, until we have set up the machinery for ascertaining and lGeneral Laws, Chapter 123, Section lOOA. 7 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS have actually gathered the necessary facts about crime and criminals in Georgia over a sufficient length of time, but little can be done towards strengthening our criminal laws and making them more effective. The criminal laws of Georgia are fundamentally as sound today as ever, but they certainly seem to be less potent. Seek to dignify these laws as we may, until we give greater consideration to the condition of the human being offending, desired results in the operation of these laws will not be obtained. We may talk all we wish about men breaking the law. They are not breaking the law. Law cannot be broken. Men may break themselves against it as frequently they do, but bruised and battered they find the law still intact. The interpretation of the humane aspects of this survey, or at least a broad discussion of these aspects is a distinct duty of the Department, and this Introduction is an attempt to fulfill that duty. One other duty devolving upon the Department is to present the survey in a statistical form as the basis for constructive consideration and action by any or all who may be interested or concerned. In its final analysis, aside from showing an overwhelming increase in crime in the four counties, Bibb, Lowndes, Randolph and Tift and which crimes were more frequent, the survey because of lack of social statistics on the criminal contained in the records, automatically resolved itself into "A Survey of the Administration of Justice." This will be readily seen upon the examination of the type of information and data obtained from the court records. Mr. James Bronson Reynolds, former President of the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology and one of the most learned criminologists of his time, stated on one occasion, "How long will it be before our National Government assumes the task, now borne by practically all civilized governments, of collecting and publishing annually statistics of crime and court and prison records?" The answer to that question rests with the people and with Congress. Georgia will be remiss if she does not take cognizance of her duty as a state and through the General Assembly enact a law to provide the following: (a) Establishment of a Bureau of Crime Statistics in some state depart- ment as far removed from political influence as possible, charged with the duty of collecting, compiling and publishing helpful information pertaining to crime, the courts and the criminal. (b) Uniform court, jail and prison records, the form of which shall be prescribed by law, with the provision for regular reports by the proper court, jail and prison officials to the Bureau of Crime Statistics. (c) Adequate appropriation for the operation of such a bureau and proper enforcement of the law.' BOYCE M. EDENS. 8 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS CHAPTER I. THE SCOPE AND METHODS OF THE SURVEY Courts To understand just what the present survey attempts to cover, it is necessary at the beginning to understand what courts handle the kinds of cases and the defendants about which information has been obtained. In Georgia the general trial court is known as the "Superior Court." This court has general, original jurisdiction of both criminal and civil rrtatters. There is a Superior Court for each of the 160 counties in the State. The criminal side of the Superior Court has jurisdiction over the trial of both felonies and misdemeanors. In many counties there is another court which is usually known as the "City Court" which has C0ncurrent jurisdiction with the Superior Court for the trial of misde- OllTl.'I>I!. MA P OF' GEORGIA :.HOW' ..... (,OU"T'E.l> 5-ruO'E.o. 9 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS meanors. Felonies cannot be tried in the City Courts. The term "City Court" should not be confused with the Mayor's Qr Recorder's Courts which are courts for the trial of violation of municipal ordinances. The City Court does not try such violations and is not a "City" Court in any such sense; the City Court tries violations of the State laws and its jurisdiction is not ordinarily limited to any city or municipality but extends over the whole county in which it is located. Some courts have other names, for instance, there is the Criminal Court of Atlanta. This court is so similar to the usual City Court that it is so referred to in this study. This court tries misdemeanors and its jurisdiction extends over the whole of Fulton County and not merely the territory embraced in the City of Atlanta. Po PIJLF\TI0 '" THE. 5.TATE.. POP~L.ATIO N OF ("O\J~TIe:.5 '=o-ru 0 ILI:>_ FIGURE 1 POPULATION COVERED BY THE SURVEY At present there is no one source or combination of sources from which can be obtained information and data as to the nature and extent of all the crimes committed in the State. Because of this fact and also because of the limited amount of money available for gathering the statistics herein contained, it was deemed necessary at the outset to limit the survey to the records of the two criminal courts mentioned. Persons arrested by municipal police officers and charged with offenses 10 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS involving the violation of state laws are bound over to one or the other of these two courts for trial, so in this way a large part of the crime committed by known offenders becomes a matter of record in these courts. The present study covers the criminal side of the Superior Courts of Fulton, Bibb, Lowndes, Randolph and Tift counties. It also covers the criminal side of the City Courts of Fulton, Bibb, Lowndes and Tift counties. Randolph county does not have a City Court and all of the business of that county is handled by the Superior Court. Counties Studied These particular counties were selected for study because they range from the county with the largest population in the State to two counties with relatively small populations. The population of these counties according to the Census of 1920 is as follows: County Fulton Bibb Lowndes Randolph Tift Population 232,606 71,304 26,521 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16,721 14,493 -Percentage- White Colored 69.8 30.2 53.6 46.3 49.0 51.0 34.2 65.8 70.3 29.6 Largest City 200,616 52.995 10.783 3,022 3,005 361,645 Another reason for the selection of these counties is shown in the varying proportions of white and colored inhabitants as seen in the above table. The variation of rural and urban population and the fact that it was believed that the court records of these counties would be in a clear, understandable condition also contributed to this selection. The five counties studied contain 12.488 per cent or one-eighth of the population of the State of Georgia. Years Studied In Bibb, Lowndes, Randolph and Tift counties the cases docketed during two years were examined; cases begun in the courts during the years 1921 and 1916. An exception was that in the Superior Court of Tift County a few cases were included as of the year 1916 which were not actually filed until after January 1, 1917. These cases were considered as of 1916 because the Grand Jury did not meet to act on them until after January 1st and it was manifestly unfair to omit them. In Fulton County it was impossible to cover more than the business begun in one year because of the great number of cases handled by the courts of this county. This is to be regretted but it was necessary because of the lack of funds in hand to proceed further. 11 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS The years 1916 and 1921 were selected for study after much deliberation. It was found that so many of the cases begun in 1922 were still pending (particularly in Fulton Superior Court) at the time of the survey that it was evident that the survey of that year would develop into a study of cases still active in the courts. The very fact that a large proportion of the 1922 cases remained undisposed of in September, 1923, the date this study began, was significant in itself but it was believed that the actual dispositions however much delayed were even more important. Moreover since so much of the 1922 business was still active it appeared that the work of the investigator would seriously inconvenience the court officers in their duties. The selection of 1921 FORM OF SUPERIOR COURT FIELD CARD as one year led to the selection of 1916 as the other year for study because it furnished a five year interval between 1921 and because it was a "pre-war" year. It should be carefully noted that throughout this reportreferences to the years 1916 and 1921 mean cases docketed from January 1 to December 31 of those years. Regardless of the time of disposition or other action, if a case was begun in 1921 it falls in that year. This means, of course, that the figures listed under dispositions, for instance, 1921, do not mean that the courts or a particular court disposed of that many cases in 1921 but, instead, that of the cases begun in 1921 so many had been disposed of at the time of the survey. It is urged that this 12 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS fact be borne in mind throughout a consideration of the figures presented as otherwise very wrong conclusions will be reached. Unless otherwise stated, where figures are given they apply to the year 1921 and not to the number of "cases" docketed but to the number of defendants in those cases. The pardon and the parole of defendants is not covered by this study. Number of Cases Studied The time at which the cases were briefed and the number of defendants considered are given below: SCOPE OF SURVEY Court Fulton Superior Fulton City Randolph Superior Tift Superior Tift City Lowndes Superior Lowndes City Bibb Superior Bibb City SCOPE OF SURVEY Defendants 2,180 4,656 267 176 390 294 886 591 2,622 Date of Briefing Sept. 19-0ct. 6, 1923 Oct. ll-Nov. 17, 1923 Nov. 20-Nov. 23, 1923 Nov. 24-Nov. 26, 192.3 Nov. 26-Dec. 1, 1923 Dec.

The only record of this nature discovered was the jail register as kept in some counties. The most complete of the jail registers inspected showed only the age, color and sex except for such legal data as time of admission, crime accused of, and such like matters. Because of this situation the facts sought were almost entirely of a legal kind: such as could be found on the court records. The cards outlined below (Figures 2 and 3) show in general what it was determined to try to learn from the records. In brief, they show the following to be the original expectation: (1) Court. (2) County. (3) Year. (4) Date of investigation. (5) Case docket number. (6) Name of defendant. (7) Sex. (8) Date indicted. (9) Date crime was committed. (10) Crime accused of. (11) Crime convicted of. (12) Pled guilty. (13) Total Court costs. (14) Sentence: (a) Penitentiary, (b) Chaingang, (c) Jail. (15) Sentence suspended: (a) All, (b) Part, (c) To nm concurrently.

It proved impracticable, because of the time necessary, to get item nine above; the remaining information was obtained with greater or less completeness but only a small part of what was obtained is presented here.

The cards for the field work were then prepared and printed. Figure 2 shows the form of field card for the Superior Courts and Figure 3 the form for City Courts. Different colors were used for these two forms. The figures referred to show the outline of the card at about actual size. These field cards were printed four to a sheet and the sheets bound into temporary books of 100 sheets. In briefing the cases the bench docket in the clerk's office was usually the first record consulted. Among the other records used were the original indictments and other original papers, motion dockets, min- 14 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS utes, cost sheets, certiorari dockets and cash books in the clerk's office. The bond records, the jail register and sometimes the original bonds and commitments were used in the sheriff's office. The solicitor's docket was consulted when such a record was available. In Fulton County the records of the adult probation office were also used. The briefing of the cases required slightly more than four months' work by the investigator. Upon completion of the field cards, the information contained on them was transferred to punch cards which could be used with tabulating machines and then these punch cards were sorted and counted in many different ways and in many different combinations. The totals were taken from the tabulating machines and were entered on working tables and these working tables were then consolidated into the final tables upon which this report is based. Upon the completion of this tabluation the present report was begun. Accuracy Absolute accuracy in work of this kind is impossible because of the human element involved. Different portions of the results obtained have been checked and the proportion of error indicated by these checks is three-tenths of one per cent. It is believed that the facts set out herein are within two per cent of correct as a whole. CHAPTER II. DISPOSITIONS (Tables 1-16) Methods of Dispositions There are several ways in which a case of the defendant in a case may be disposed of by the court. The defendant may plead guilty or he may plead not guilty and be either convicted or acquitted on that plea. The case may also be nol prossed, it may be transferred to another court, the defendant may be adjudged insane and there are other ways in which the case may be terminated. If the defendant pleads guilty or is convicted some punishment is decreed for him. In felony cases this punishment is death or imprisonment in the penitentiary unless the offense be reduced to a misdemeanor. Most felonies may be reduced to misdemeanors and when this is done misdemeanor sentences are imposed. Misdemeanors may be punished by a sentence to the chain-gang for not exceeding twelve months, six months in the 15 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS county jailor not exceeding a thousand dollar fine or any or all, in the discretion of the court. Misdemeanor punishment usually consists of (1) a sentence on the chain-gang, (2) a sentence and a fine, (3) a sentence or a fine, this last being the most usual form. Pleas of Guilty In pleas of guilty the defendant admits his guilt and the State is not put to the expense of proving it by a trial. As might be expected, a larger proportion of defendants plead guilty in the City Courts than in the Superior Courts. The former are all misdemeanants and the latter are misdemeanants and felons. In Fulton Superior Court 21.8 per cent of the defendants charged with crime in 1921 pled guilty. 1 In the City CourF of that county the percentage pleading guilty was 50.9. Similarly, in the four other Superior Courts studied 24.2 per centS of those charged with crime in 1921 pled guilty and in the three City Courts outside of Fulton County 33.7 admitted their guilt on plea.4 Conmctions Although a larger proportion pled guilty in the City Courts, a larger proportion were convicted in the Superior Courts. In Fulton Superior Court 19.2 per cent1 of the cases originating in 1921 were prosecuted to a conviction; the corresponding City Court figures for that county were 15.7 per cent.2 Outside of Fulton County, the other Superior Courts show convictions amounting to 17.2 per cent1 of the total defendants charged and the City Courts to only 7.9 per cent.2 Number Punished Whether the defendant pleads guilty or whether he is convicted, some measure of punishment is meted out to him so possibly the combination of pleas and convictions is more significant than either item taken separately. The figures reached by this combination show that in Fulton Superior Court 41.1 per cent3 of all defendants charged with crime were ordered to receive some measure of punishment; the City Court figures show 66.6 per cent of all defendants as being punished in Fulton County.4 The other Superior Courts show almost the same percentage as in the Fulton Court, 41.4 per cent being punshed.1 In the City Courts outside of Fulton County the records show 41.<: per cent2 of the defendants as being punished. 1Table 1. 2Table 10. 3Tables 3, 5. 7, 9. 4Tables 12, 14, 16. 16 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS Acquittals The proportion of acquittals does not vary greatly in the several courts studied. In Fulton Superior 8.6 per cent3 acquitted and Fulton City 9.6 per cent.4 Outside of Fulton County the Superior Courts ac- quitted 10.6 per cent1 of their defendants and the City Courts 7 per cent. 2 ' Nol Pros. The nol pros or nolle prosequi has been spoken of above. The nol pros is the abandonment of prosecution by the State. It may happen for many reasons; for instance, where it is found that the indictment is fatally defective the solicitor may ask that the case be nol prossed; again it may be that the witnesses for the State cannot be found and the solicit"or feels that there is little or no chance of securing a conviction. The usual order taken in Georgia for a nol pros recites that it is entered "for reasons satisfactory to the solicitor." In practice some courts seem to exercise little or no control over the nol prossing of cases and frequently a blanket order is passed disposing of several or many cases by this method. In some counties a practice has grown up of nol prossing cases upon the payment of costs by the defendant. The nol pros is probably a valuable and necessary adjunct to the administration of justice and the usual statement made in its favor is that it saves the time of the courts. While it offers a remedy for cases hastily or improperly brought by the promiscuous swearing out of warrants by irresponsible persons or for cases improperly bound over by the committing magistrates yet it can readily be seen that the nol pros at times may be susceptible of abuse. The figures for the various courts show a wide variation in the proportion of cases nol prossed but in all of the courts studied it seems to be freely used. In Fulton Superior Court 13.1 per cent1 of the del fendants charged in 1921 had their cases nol prossed. In the corresponding City Court 11.7 per cent2 were nol prossed. Outside of Fulton County it was even more generally used, the other Superior Courts showing 23.6 per cent3 of their cases nol prossed and the City Courts 46.6 per cent4 of all charges against defendants as being disposed of by this route. Trials The comparatively small proportion of defendants whose cases are disposed of by actual trial is shown by the figures for the several courts. 1 Tables 3. 5. 7, 9. 2Tables 12, 14, 16. 3Table 1. 4Table 10. 17 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS In Fulton Superior Court 27.8 per cent! of the defendants were actually disposed of by a court trial, in Fulton City Court 25.3 per cent. 2 In the Superior Courts outside of that county 27.8 per cent3 and in other City Courts 15 per cent4 of the defendants had a court trial. FIVE SUPERIOR COURTS ~o < o Dispositions Analyzed Various methods of disposition have been enumerated and various percentages given to show how frequently those methods occur. It may be of service to take a hundred hypothetical cases in the courts and deduce from the figures assembled just what may be expected to happen to these one hundred defendants. This is shown below, the first column being based on the figures for all Superior Courts, the second col- 'Table 1. 2Table 10. 3Tabb 3, 5, 7, 9. 4Tables 12, 14, 16. 18 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS umn on all City Courts and the third column on all of the nine courts studied. The figures are based on the 1921 business.

It is extremely improbable that a great number of these defendants will be prosecuted to a convicition or a plea of guilty. In many instances the defendant has never been apprehended. For instance, there were 156 cases of larceny after trust found pending in Fulton Superior CourU A large proportion of these particular cases were the result of the operations of a so-called "bunco ring" and many of these defendants have never been apprehended. It is only natural that some cases should be found pending even after the lapse of considerable time. True bills are sometimes voted NINE COURTS lTable 1. JVo (. "''to3 .s ..-:1)::----- 20 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS by the Grand Jury so as to prevent the statute of limitations from barring prosecution even when the Grand Jury well know that the defendant is a fugitive and probably never will be arrested. Even considering this item, 29 cases per hundred seems a large number to be pending in the Superior Courts eighteen months after they have been docketed. Considered from another angle, the figures in the preceding table show that of 100 defendants in Georgia whose cases were disposed of 62 were punished. As shown by the "Criminal Statistics" for England and Wales, 1921, of 100 defendants whose cases were disposed of in those jurisdictions 78 were punished in the courts similar to our Superior and City Courts. Effect of Delay It has been stated time and time again by many people that any delay in bringing a defendant to trial operates in the defendant's favor. It is frequently said that if the defendant or his counsel can postpone the trial long enough the defendant stands a good chance of never being punished. In order to get some idea of whether or not this popular opinion had any basis of fact, 300 dispositions in the Fulton Superior Court were taken at random and examined. The reason for not taking a larger number of cases was that it was necessary to hand-count the cards for this purpose and hand-counting is a long and expensive process. One hundred cases were examined which were disposed of within 90 days after filing ; one hundred cases which were disposed of between 90 and 270 days; and one hundred cases which were disposed of after the lapse of more than 270 days. The results obtained were as follows:1 DISPOSED OF BY FULTON SUPERIOR COURT Under 90 91 to 270 Days Days Plead Guilty 37 25 Convicted .......................... 41 18 Punished 78 43 Acquitted . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 14 8 Nol Prossed .......................... 5 40 Other Disposition 3 9 Not Punished 22 57 Over 270 Days 17 17 34 13 45 8 66 The indication, then, from this count is that the chabces of punishment steadily decrease the longer the case is pending. Particular Offenses The facts hitherto given have not picked out any particular crimes for individual treatment. This will be dealt with more completely in IThese figures cannot be found in the tables. 21 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS another chapter but it may not be amiss just here to show what crimes seem to be more easy and what more difficult to secure a plea of guilty or a conviction. The percentage of defendants punished as compared to the number charged is shown in the following table for several of the more common crimes: PERCENTAGES OF DEFENDANTS CHARGED WHO ARE PUNISHED Crime Burglary Forgery Larceny, Simple Larceny, Auto Larceny, House Murder Assault In.

COMPARISON OF YEARS (Tables 17-19) Number of Defendants It is a matter of regret that it was impossible to obtain figures for the Fulton County Courts for the year 1916 so as to give a basis of comparison for that county and so as to increase the aggregate number of cases which serve as the foundation for the comparison of the work of the courts for the years 1916 and 1921. There is a total, ,however, of 5,226 cases for consideration in the counties of Bibb, Lowndes, Randolph and Tift. By sex of defendant these cases are divided as follows :5 1916 Male 1.806 Female 217 Sex Unknown....................... 14 1921 2,862 292 35 Per Cent of Inc. 58.4 34.6 Total 2,037 3,189 56.6 The increase in number of defendants charged with crime amounted to 56.6 per cent in the counties mentioned, the increase in males being somewhat greater than the increase of females. 1 Tab,le 1. 2Tables 3, 5, 7, 9. 3Table 10. 4Tables 12, 14, 16. 5Table 17. 22 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS Cri111,e and Population While an increase in crime is indicated for these four counties by the increase of defendants in the courts, it must be remembered that the population of the counties, was increasing at the same time. Based on the census figures the comparative increase was as follows: G --Population-- 10 Yr. Annual County Inc. Inc. Bibb 25.9 2.59 Lowndes 8.6 .86 Randolph D.l1.3 D.1.13 Tift 26.2 2.62 Four Counties 15.8 1.58 State of Georgia....... 11.0 1.10 -Court Defendants- 5 Yr. Annual Inc. Inc. 64.8 13.0 24.3 4.9 100.0 20.0 70.8 14.2 56.6 11.3 These figures 1 indicate that crime increased between 1916 and 1921 slightly more than seven times as fast as the population increased. These same facts are set out in Figure 5. The increase in defendants charged in the several Superior Courts was greater than the increase in the City Courts, the increase in the Superior Courts being 83.8 per cent and in the City Courts only 48.4 per cent. This fact does not necessarily mean that felonies are increas- ing more rapidly than misdemeanors as the Superior Courts also try misdemeanors. A few figures as to the increase of certain felonies will be considered below. Number Punished While there was an increase in the business of the Superior Courts of 83.8 per cent, there was an increase of only 68.7 per cent in the number of defendants punished.2 In the City Courts the number of defendants increased 48.4 per cent but the number of defendants punished increased 64.5 per cent.2 It is probable that the figure of 68.7 for the Superior CQurts as the proportion of defendants punished will be increased slightly by the final disposition of cases still pending at the time of this survey but, as shown above, these cases had been pending a minimum of 18 months at the time of the survey and any increase in the number punished will probably 'be very slight. Acquittals Acquittals in the Superior Courts show a decided increase as does the number of defendants whose cases were nol prossed. Acquittals GTable 19. lWhile figures are not available for Fulton County, the report of the Chief of Police for the City of Atlanta (which lies largely in Fulton County) shows an increase in arrests of 52.2 per cent between 1916 and 1921. 2Table 17. 23 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS in 1921 increased 111.7 per cent over 1916 for these Superior Courts and nol prosses increased 144.6 per cent.2 It will be noted that the total number of defendants punished by the City Courts increased by 64.5 per cent over 1916. This is due to an increase of 116.5 per cent in the number of pleas of guilty in these courts as the number of convictions showed an actual decrease. The figures mentioned above are tabulated as follows: --Superior Courts-- 1916 1921 % Inc. Plead Guilty 126 Z08 65.0 Convicted 85 148 74.2 Punished 211 356 68.7 Acquitted........... 43 91 111.7 Nol Prossed 83 203 144.6 Other Dispositions . 79 58 D.26.6 Not Punished .. 205 352 71.6 Pending 52 152 --City COUlts-- 1916 1921 % Inc. 362 784 116.5 226 184 D.18.6 588 968 64.5 189 164 D.13.2 671 1086 61.8 3 860 1253 45.7 121 108 Pleas in City Courts The increase of 116.5 per cent in the number of defendants pleading guilty in the City Courts outside of Fulton Connty is so large in comparison to the increase of 48.4 per cent in the business begun in the same courts that an inquiry into a possible cause of this increase is not out of place. The following figures show the number of defendants pleading guilty and convicted in each of the two years and also show the number and percentage of those pleading guilty who were sentenced to serve "straighll:' prison sentences together with the number and percentage of prison sentences decreed for those who refused to plead guilty and stood trial and were convictedl : CITY COURTS 1916 Plead Guilty 362 Number of above-sentenced to straight imprisonment 63 Percentage of those pleading guilty who were given straight sentence of imprisonment. 17.4 Convicted 226 Number of above sentenced to stra-ight imprisonment 70 Percentage of those convicted who were given straight sentence of imprisonment 31.0 1921 % Inc. 784 116.5 46 5.9 184 D.18.6 36 19.6 In other words, according to these figures, in 1916 a defendant in these City Courts who pled guilty had 17 chances out of 100 of receiving a straight prison sentence and one who was convicted had 31 chances out of 100 of receiving a straight sentence. In 19.21, however, the defendant who pled guilty had only 6 chances out of 100 of receiv- ITable 17. 24 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS ing a straight sentence whereas if he were convicted he stood 20 chances out of 100 of receiving such a sentence. Annual Increase Population Crime {(Stra,ight" Sentences FIGURE 5 INCREASE OF CRIME Similar figures for all courts,l Superior and City, show that in 1916 a defendant who pled guilty had 24 chances out of 100 of receiving a prison sentence; in 1921 his chances were 13.5 out of 100. If he stood trial and was convicted his chances were 38 out of 100 in 1916 and 39 out of 100 in 1921. Taken all together, in all the courts ITable 17. 25 CRIME AND THE GEORGIA COURTS for 1916 30 sentences out of 100 were straight imprisonment without the option of a fine and in 1921 20 out of 100 were straight imprisonment without the option of a fine. As stated above, the general increase in the criminal business of all courts about which comparative figures are available in 1921 ,vas 56.6 per cent over 1916. If crimes which are always felonies are considered alone (as opposed to misdemeanors and crimes which may be either misdemeanors or felonies) the increase of these serious offenses was 64.42 per cent, showing that the increase of more serious offenses was somewhat greater than the general increase of all crime. Specific Crimes Among particular crimes some show increases and some decreases. A few of the more common crimes are listed below together with the percentage of increase or decrease in 1921 over 1916:2 Increase Assault and Battery............ 37.6 Auto Law Violations 490.0 Cheating and Swindling........ 42.9 Concealed Weapons (and carry- ing pistol without license) ..

If the above crimes are arbitrarily divided as below, the table shows the increases by threE classifications: Tncreaedings. (10) Reduction to misdemeanor. (11) Fact of probation .lnd resentence. Had all of the courts examined had this information on the bench docket the time and expense of making this survey would have been greatly lessened and it is believed that the above information s~lould be carried on all dockets for the enlightenment of interested parties. It can be so carried for it is actually found on the dockets of some of the courts. Social Data Mention was made in the beginning of this report of the almost entire lack of information of a "social" nature as to the defendants in the courts. A very slight amount is contained in some of the jail registers in the offices of the various sheriffs or at the county jails. It is believed that this data is of such value that it should be collected but just what data should be obtained and by whom kept it is difficult to say, for this present study is too new for its conclusions on this matter to be of great value. Certainly the age, sex, color, marriage status, profession, education, known previous conviction and a few other items of this kind should be found. \Vhether this data should be obtained by the sheriff (who sees the defendant first and most often), by the clerk (who is in the best position to keep accurate records), or by some other person is debatable. Study and suggestion by interested parties as to this matter is earnestly solicited. A great service can be rendered our courts by the accurate, systematic and economic collection of social information. NOTES TO TABLES The figures refer to the number of defendants and not to the number of cases, The dates 1916 and 1921 arc the dates of filing and not the dates of disposition or other action. "Concealed Weapon Violations" includes "Carrying Pistol without a License." "Perjury, attempts," includes "Subornation of Perjury." Where a defendant is accused of one crime and convicted of another, his offense is considered to be that for which he was convicted. In tables 42 and 43, the figures given in columns 1 and 2 are not all inclusive, but show respectively the number of bonds assessed and made and which could be located for study. 52 TABLE' I-ANALYSIS OF DISPOSITIONS BY THE SUPERIOR COURT OF FULTON COUNTY-192I ====- ======================== ------ -----'--- = ::============================== - DlSPOSITIONS __- - - - - - -_ _-'--_ _- - - - - - SEX OF DEFENDANTS -------Plead Guilty------ -~ Convicted---_ _- - OFFENSES 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 -13 14 15 16 17 2 1 2 104 2 8 2 3 4 6 2 1 1 4 6 2 3 1 1 1 1 3 114 59 7 4 2 2 1 13 G 4 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 12 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 . 7(J 1 35 23 3 2 10 1 5 2 18 W 20 21 22 23 3 4 4 4 3 3 8 2 2 8 4 4 3 5 2 3 1 9 2 12 633 19 7 12 1 1 19 11 8 12 12 24 25 26 27 28 29 ... 2R 3 11 2 44 6 10 10 10 2 1 3 16 3 9 1 30 31 3 2 32 33 34 6 2 2 10 4 2 2 6 7 35 36 54 2 2 58 46 3 2 51 24 8 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 27 8 10 2 1 5 6 4.:; 26 5 4 2 1 11 5 3 2 7 1 11 1 .15 14 5 1 8 4 10 1 7 3 11 1 46 47 48 49 50 1 3 4 2 8 1 7 22 3 6 2 8 9 31 15 11 1 51 52 53 54 .'\5 56 57 58 11 16 57 1 3 2 11 RS 2 18 6 4 6 5 11 J8 8 1 1 2 29 16 140 4 1 5 2 15 6 6 47 11 14 1 1 59 60 2 2 4 9 4 2 15 6 61 62 2 4 7 63 64 4 65 66 67 68 OFFENSES ---_._~--- ._~----~- 1 Abandonment of Child ....................... .. 2 Arson ... ...... ... ... ., ......... , .................... 3 Burglary ............................................. 4 Car Breaking and Entering .......................... ., 5 Cheating and Swindling............................... 6 Concealed Weapon Law Violations ........... ......... 7 Forgery .. ................................... , ........ 8 Gaming .. .................... ...... , ....... ......... 9 Gaming House, Operating ............................. 10 Kindnapping ......................................... 11 Larceny-Simple ........... 0 ..... 12 Larceny from House ............... .. . 13 Larceny after Trust ......................... .. . 14 Libel , 0.0' 15 Jv1urder .............................................. 16 Murder, Assault with Intent ........................... 17 Prohibition Law Violations ..... ,'0 18 Receiving Stolen Goods ................. ............. 19 Robbery .................... o. 20 Shooting at Another .................... 0.
