Abstract
This study is offered as an attempt to throw some light on the Negro and the world in which he lives through an analysis of Negro police records and a select number of case histories. In pursuing the investigation an effort was made to view the Negro’s record in terms of behavior – to see the situations which provide the setting for Negro crime.
