Reviews

"This book may develop to be epochal in its field. The indomitable pioneering implicit in Dr. Lindner's quest of the real secret of criminalism- the causes as contrasted with the symptoms- will surely one day prevail over the indifference and cynicism that stalks the dismal corridors of prisons and pervades the sterile formalism of criminal courts." The New York Times "The most exciting and one of the most deeply and tragically human stories I have read in a long time." The New Republic
