- Title
DELINQUENCY AMONG JEWS.
- Authors
Hersh, Liebmann
- Abstract
The article presents a comparative study of criminality among the Jewish and non-Jewish population of the Polish Republic. In order to take due account of the differences between Jewish and non-Jewish criminality in their great variety, the author will first distinguish eighteen groups of offences, before examining more closely those of them which are more important by reason either of the large number of persons found guilty of them, or of the serious nature of certain kinds of crime which form part of them. Of these eighteen groups, nine belong to the category of offences against the State and social order, five to that of offences against persons, three to offences against property and one group comprises all those offences which do not belong to any of the seventeen groups. The many acts of corruption committed by Jews and the numerous cases of venality to be found among non-Jewish officials, are, of course, the two sides of the same medal. As to those condemned for crimes against justice, these are much less frequent in ex-Russian Poland among Jews than among the rest of the population.
