INDETERMINATE CONTROL OF OFFENDERS: ARBITRARY AND DISCRIMINATORY.
- Authors
PARKINS, JOHN FORBES
- Abstract
The article discusses several general principles on which the American Law Institute bases its recommendations of the California Youth Correction Authority (YCA) Act which were adopted by the American Law Institute Advisory Committee on Criminal Justice on February 12, 1938. It discusses a thesis based on an analogy which describes methods corresponding to the methods of clinical medicine, proposed by the proponents of the YCA to deal with the criminals for crime may be regarded as a form of social illness. It cites various examples to show how the Act would work. It also mentions the Section 29 (2) of the Act under which the Authority feels compelled to order the discharge of a criminal.
