Excerpt from The Contest Against Criminality: Investigation and Probation Work in Sweden
During the year 1910 an association was formed in Stockholm called "Skyddsvarnet" (The Protection Society) for the purpose of assisting both public and private attempts at reclaiming and reforming released prisoners, those under suspended sentence, vagrants, habitual drunkards, prostitutes, and similar cases needing assistance. The Society, which has. been granted a subvention from the State as well as from the Municipality, is under the patronage of H.R. H.the Crown-Prince of Sweden.
The following article, recently published in the first number of the periodical of the Society, chiefly relates to the work under my superintendence among those under suspended sentence.
At the close of the article will be found an instance of the preliminary investigation undertaken by the Society anent a case of suspended sentence, the forms available for this purpose, as also the cards distributed by the Society.
It would be a matter of great satisfaction to me if the work of investigation and probation commenced in Sweden could awaken interest in those who, in other lands, have engaged in the same field of labour, so that, in due time, co-operation might ensue between the Society and them, to the vast advantage of a far more comprehensive and effective work among the criminal class.
