First published in 1937, The Criminals We Deserve delves into the question of what kind of criminals our society deserves. While some individuals believed that the crime problem had lessened in severity compared to previous times, Mr. Rhodes presents a compelling argument that significant changes within our social institutions during the thirty years preceding 1937 had fundamentally altered the nature of modern crime, making it increasingly dangerous to society. He elucidates how our social organization plays a crucial role in shaping our crime problem and supports his thesis with numerous strange and captivating examples of criminal behavior, where tragedy and comedy often intertwine. This book holds immense interest for students of criminology, history, and sociology.
