Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Organization of Criminal Statistics in the United States In a broad sense a criminal is one who has committed such an act or is guilty of such an omission. But since many crimes are never known nor the perpetrators of known crimes so deeply branded by the mark of Cain that all may recognize them, the statistician counts as criminals only those whom the courts of law have so adjudged. From the statistical point of view, then, a man simply held for trial is not a criminal, and cannot be so listed until the law has spoken its final word.
