Excerpt from War With Crime: Being a Selection of Reprinted Papers on Crime, Reformatories, Etc Two analogies were constantly present to Mr. Baker's mind. One, that crime is due to a form of mental disease, for which the criminal is not the only person responsible, and that all disease must be combated on scientific principles, dealing rather with the disease than with the individual. The other, that we are at war with crime, and that our forces must be marshalled and disciplined if we are to win the battle. Both these views are brought out in the paper How to war with crime,' read at the Bradford meeting of the Social Science Association in 1859.
