Pauperism And Crime (1831)

By William Logan Fisher

Book Overview

Pauperism and Crime is a book written by William Logan Fisher in 1831. The book explores the relationship between poverty and crime, arguing that poverty is a major cause of criminal behavior. Fisher draws on statistical data and historical examples to support his argument, and he also examines the social and economic conditions that contribute to poverty and crime. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on the causes of pauperism and crime, the second part on the consequences of these phenomena, and the third part on potential solutions to address them. Throughout the book, Fisher emphasizes the importance of education, employment, and social welfare programs in reducing poverty and crime. Pauperism and Crime is an important historical text that sheds light on the social and economic conditions of the early 19th century, and it remains relevant today as poverty and crime continue to be major issues in many parts of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
