STATISTICAL TRENDS IN MASSACHUSETTS
CRIMES COMMITTED
BECAUSE THE AGGREGATED "CRIME INDEX" OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
IS OVERWEIGHTED BY THE LESS SERIOUS PROPERTY CRIMES AND THEREFORE IS NOT A GOOD INDICATOR FOR SHOWING ANY OVERALL TREND IN SERIOUS CRIME, NEVERTHELESS, ITS INDIVIDUAL RATES FOR EACH OF ITS SEVEN SELECTED CRIMES PROVIDE USEFUL INFORMATION. THE RATES IN MASSACHUSETTS FOR EACH OFFENSE INCREASED THIS YEAR BY THE FOLLOWING PERCENTAGES: MURDER UP 17%, FORCIBLE RAPE UP 19%, ROBBERY UP 13%, AGGRAVATED ASSAULT UP 7%, BURGLARY UP 9%, LARCENY ($50 AND OVER) UP 6% AND AUTO THEFT UP 21%. (SEE TABLE 1 ).

ARRESTS
THE NUMBER OF ARRESTS FOR MINOR CRIMES DECREASED THIS YEAR (228,386 COMPARED
TO 234,927 LAST YEAR). ON THE OTHER HAND THE NUMBER OF ARRESTS FOR THE "SERIOUS" CRIMES, AS ESTABLISHED BY THE F.B.I., INCREASED (20,508 COMPARED TO 18,225 LAST YEAR). BECAUSE THE DECREASE IN NUMBER OF ARRESTS FOR MINOR CRIMES CONSIDERABLY OVERBALANCED THE SMALL INCREASE OF MAJOR CRIME ARRESTS, THE OVERALL TOTAL NUMBER OF ARRESTS DECREASED (248,894 COMPARED TO 253,152 LAST YEAR).

HOWEVER, WHEN THE TABULATIONS FOR ONLY THOSE ARRESTED UNDER THE AGE OF 18
ARE CONSIDERED THERE IS A SLIGHT VARIATION IN THE ABOVE PATTERN. AS WITH ADULTS THE NUMBER OF ARRESTS FOR MINOR CRIMES DECREASED THIS YEAR (17,404 COMPARED TO 18,576). AND AGAIN AS WITH ADULTS THE NUMBER OF ARRESTS FOR MAJOR CRIMES INCREASED (12,905 COMPARED WITH 11,814 LAST YEAR). THE DIFFERENCE OCCURS WHEN WE NOTE THAT THE INCREASE IN NUMBER OF ARRESTS FOR MAJOR CRIMES WAS SUFFICIENT TO CREATE AN OVERALL INCREASE IN THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ARRESTS OF THE UNDER 18 GROUP FOR ALL CRIMES(25,007 AS COMPARED WITH 24,987 LAST YEAR). (TABLE 49,50 and 51)

BECAUSE MANY PERSONS APPEAR IN COURT WITHOUT HAVING BEEN ARRESTED BY POLICE
AND BECAUSE THERE IS A QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT ALL LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS LEARN ABOUT AND TABULATE EVERY STATE POLICE ARREST WITHIN THEIR MUNICIPALITY (ESPECIALLY MOVING TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS) IT APPEARS IMPOSSIBLE TO RECONCILE THE ABOVE STATISTICS OF POLICE ARRESTS WITH THE STATISTICS IN THE NEXT SECTION CONCERNING NUMBER OF COURT PROSECUTIONS.

COURT PROSECUTIONS
ADDING 13,128 CASES BEGUN IN THE CRIMINAL SESSION OF THE SUPERIOR COURT TO
383,293 CRIMINAL CASES BEGUN IN THE LOWER COURTS RESULTS IN A TOTAL OF 396,421 CASES BEGUN IN ALL COURTS THIS YEAR. THIS IS AN INCREASE ABOVE THE 353,406 TOTAL LAST YEAR (TABLES 52 AND 113).

AS USUAL THE GREAT MAJORITY OF CRIMINAL CASES, 223,277, WERE FOR TRAFFIC LAW
VIOLATIONS WHILE 61,881 WERE FOR DRUNKENNESS. THUS IT APPEARS THAT OVER 70% OF THE CASES IN THE CRIMINAL COURTS ARE CONCERNED WITH PETTY CRIMES (TABLES52 AND114 ).

THE PERCENTAGE OF OFFENDERS SENTENCED TO PRISON OF THE TOTAL BOTH PLACED ON
PROBATION AND IMPRISONED INCREASED SLIGHTLY THIS YEAR. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT THERE WERE 51.4% IMPRISONED AS COMPARED WITH 50.6% LAST YEAR, WHILE IN THE LOWER COURTS THERE WERE 27.1% IMPRISONED COMPARED WITH 26.6% LAST YEAR (TABLE 2).

JAILS AND HOUSES OF CORRECTION
FOR THE EIGHTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR THERE HAS BEEN A DECREASE IN THE TOTAL
NUMBER OF PRISONERS REPORTED SENTENCED TO COUNTY JAILS AND HOUSES OF CORRECTION. THIS YEAR THERE WAS A TOTAL OF 8,550 COMPARED TO 8,999 LAST YEAR (TABLE 42 ).

STATE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS
BOTH THE ANNUAL ADMISSIONS AND THE AVERAGE DAILY POPULATION OF THE MORE
SERIOUS ADULT MALE OFFENDERS HAVE REMAINED RELATIVELY STABLE OVER THE PAST TWELVE YEARS. THERE ARE, HOWEVER, SMALL INCREASES AND DECREASES IN BOTH OVERALL FIGURES AND DIFFERENT SUBCATEGORIES. ALTHOUGH THE NUMBER OF PAROLE VIOLATORS RETURNED THIS YEAR TO M.C.I.'S, WALPOLE AND CONCORD INCREASED SLIGHTLY THE NUMBER OF COURT SENTENCED CASES DECREASED SUFFICIENTLY TO RESULT IN AN OVERALL DECREASE OF ADMISSIONS OF THE MORE SERIOUS ADULT MALE OFFENDERS FOR A SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR. A DECREASE IN AVERAGE DAILY POPULATION OF THESE MALE MAJOR OFFENDERS OCCURRED FOR

  • THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR.
  • (CHARTS V & VI)

P.D. 115
STATE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS (CONT'D.)
THE AVERAGE POPULATION OF THE WOMEN'S INSTITUTION,M.C.I., FRAMINGHAM,
CONTINUED TO DECLINE. HOWEVER, A CONTINUED MARKED INCREASE IN VOLUNTARY ALCOHOLIC ADMISSIONS MORE THAN COUNTERBALANCED DECREASES IN RETURNS OF PAROLE VIOLATORS AND DECREASES IN COMMITMENTS OF DRUNKENNESS OFFENDERS AND OTHER CRIMINAL OFFENDERS AND RESULTED IN A MARKED INCREASE OF TOTAL ADMISSIONS OF WOMEN THIS YEAR. (CHARTS VII & VIII)

AT M.C.I., BRIDGEWATER THE FIRST DECREASE IN ADMISSIONS OF VOLUNTARY
ALCOHOLICS COMBINED WITH THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE ANNUAL DECREASE OF DRUNKENNESS COMMITMENTS RESULTED IN THE FIRST DECLINE IN TOTAL BRIDGEWATER ADMISSIONS FOR MANY YEARS. HOWEVER THE AVERAGE DAILY POPULATION DECREASED FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR. THE DECREASING NUMBER OF VOLUNTARY ALCOHOLICS AND DRUNKENNESS COMMITMENTSSTILL PROVIDE OVER 90% OF THE BRIDGEWATER ADMISSIONS. HOWEVER, THE ADMISSIONS OF DRUG ADDICTS COURT COMMITTED ALCOHOLICS AND SEXUALLY DANGEROUS PERSONS COMBINE TO MAKE AN 80% INCREASE IN THE "OTHER PATIENTS" CATEGORY — FACTOR WHICH MAY BE THE START OF A DIFFERENT TREND. (CHARTS III & IV)
A
THE DEPARTMENTAL OVERAILADMISSIONS, WHICH ARE INVARIABLY GOVERNED BY
THE M.C.I., BRIDGEWATER ADMISSIONS, SHOWED THE FIRST DECREASE FOR MANY YEARS. EXCEPT FOR THE INCREASES IN PATIENT ADMISSIONS AND AVERAGE DAILY POPULATIONS IN A FEW CATEGORIES, BOTH THE ANNUAL ADMISSIONS AS WELL AS AVERAGE DAILY POPULATIONS OF ALL OTHER PRISONERS IN STATE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS DECREASED THIS YEAR. (CHARTS I & II)

    Book Talk & Signing: Charles Street Jail by Joseph Mcmaster

    150 STANIFORD STREET, SUITE 7, BOSTON, MA 02114 Book Talk & Signing: Charles Street Jail by Joseph McMaster An Infamous History Revealed through Vintage Images FOR RELEASE: January 7, 2016 Boston, MA—On January 20 at 6:30 p.m., The West End Museum will host an evening with Joseph McMaster, author of Charles Street Jail, the newest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s popular “Images of America” series. McMaster will lead a discussion as well as read from and sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase. The event is free and open to the public. Pre-register here. Told in pictures, Charles Street Jail features 200 stunning vintage images that reveal the institution’s infamous history. Always a paragon of architecture, the facility has been transformed into the luxurious and vibrant Liberty Hotel, which opened in 2007. It supplanted the Leverett Street Jail (1822-1851) and was replaced by the Nashua Street Jail (1990-present). McMaster is donating his proceeds from the book to The West End Museum. “I hope readers will appreciate the building’s rich and complex past,” said McMaster. “Long underappreciated, the Charles Street Jail was a fascinating crossroads of all kind of colorful characters and ideas of local and national importance. Just as the building has undergone a stunning historic preservation, I hope this book will help preserve some of the images and tales of this institution.” In nearly 150 years of continuous use, the Charles Street Jail in Boston’s West End had its share of notorious inmates, including Whitey Bulger, Malcolm X, Sacco and Venzetti, a captured German U-boat captain and then future Boston Mayor James Michael Curley.

    'I Want to Go to Jail': the Woman's Party

    102 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2017 Women against Wilson A National Woman’s Party demonstration against President Woodrow Wilson takes to the streets in Chicago in 1916 ahead of his upcoming visit during the presidential campaign. Amid the signs bluntly saying Wilson was “against women” is one that asks, “President Wilson How Long Do You Advise Us to Wait” for the right to vote. Source: Library of Congress. 103 “I Want to Go to Jail”: The Woman’s Party Reception for President Wilson in Boston, 1919 JAMES J. KENNEALLY Abstract: Agitation by the National Woman’s Party (NWP) was but one of several factors leading to the successful passage of the Nineteenth Amendment and woman suffrage. By turning to direct action, concentrating on a federal amendment, and courting jail sentences (unlike the more restrained National American Woman Suffrage Association), they obtained maximum publicity for their cause even when, as in Boston, their demonstration had little direct bearing on enfranchisement. Although historians have amply documented the NWP’s vigils and arrests before the White House, the history of the Massachusetts chapter of the NWP and the story of their demonstrations in Boston in 1919 has been mostly overlooked. This article gives these pioneering suffragists their recognition. Nationally, the only women to serve jail sentences on behalf of suffrage were the 168 activists arrested in the District of Columbia and the sixteen women arrested in Boston. Dr. James J. Kenneally, a Professor Emeritus and former Director of Historical Journal of Massachusetts, Vol. 45 (1), Winter 2017 © Institute for Massachusetts Studies, Westfield State University 104 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2017 the Martin Institute at Stonehill College, has written extensively on women’s history.1 * * * * * * * Alice Paul (1885–1977) and Lucy Burns (1879–1966) met in jail in 1909 in England.

Except for brief quotations in a review, this work, or parts thereof, may not be reproduced without permission from the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, Massachusetts. Not to be reproduced without permission of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, Massachusetts Winslow Family Memorial, Volume IV A NOTE ON MARGARET’S PORTION OF THE MANUSCRIPT AND ITS TRANSCRIPTION AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED (ABOVE, III, 72 n.) MARGARET began her own journal prior to her father’s death and her decision to continue his Memorial. So there is some overlap between their portions. And her first entries in her journal are sparse, interrupted by a period of four years’ invalidism, and somewhat uncertain in their purpose or direction. There is also in these opening pages a great deal of material already treated by her father. But after her father’s death, and presumably after she had not only completed the twenty-four blank leaves that were left in it at his death, she also wrote an additional twenty pages before moving over to the present bound volumes, which I shall refer to as volumes four and five.* She does not paginate her own pages. I have supplied page numbers on the manuscript itself and entered these in outlined text boxes at the tops of the transcribed pages.
