You get it on what ’s awe-inspiring about living in the time to come ? Not having to worry about crime of any form .
The March 17 , 1907 Washington Post carry a piece from the Chicago Tribune titled “ How Our Progeny Will Live One Hundred Years From Now . ” An selection , which guess a world where criminal offence is extremely uncommon , appears below .
I found the most interesting idea in the piece to be that those of a criminal leaning would no longer be allow to reproduce .
criminal offence WILL NO LONGER EXIST
The repression of crime will largely be through preventative measures . With improve detective method the chances of escape in any given case will be greatly belittle , the destitute will be rarely accused at all , and the punishments of the guilty will be of a reformatory character . In the meantime the study of genial skill will have made great strides , and a great source of law-breaking will be winnow out because men and cleaning woman with the mental turn which leads to crime will be utterly prevented from propagating their race .
