  • Harry Soderman of Stockholm: Master Criminologist Cedric Larson
    Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology Volume 43 | Issue 1 Article 11 1952 Harry Soderman of Stockholm: Master Criminologist Cedric Larson Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/jclc Part of the Criminal Law Commons, Criminology Commons, and the Criminology and Criminal Justice Commons Recommended Citation Cedric Larson, Harry Soderman of Stockholm: Master Criminologist, 43 J. Crim. L. Criminology & Police Sci. 95 (1952-1953) This Criminology is brought to you for free and open access by Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology by an authorized editor of Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. POLICE SCIENCE HARRY SODERMAN OF STOCKHOLM: MASTER CRIMINOLOGIST Cedric Larson Cedric Larson writes extensively on Swedish and American Swedish subjects and has contributed to this and other publications. He is co-author of Words that Won the War which is a study of propaganda in World War I. His earlier article in this Journal dealt with public relations in the New York Police Department. Mr. Larson had the opportunity to meet Harry Soderman during one of his recent visits to this country and through conversations and extensive research has pre- pared this very interesting sketch on one of the present day leaders in the field of police science.-EDMR. The name of Sbderman is almost legendary in European police cir- cles, and it is no exaggeration to say that today he is Europe's leading criminologist and authority on police systems. While S6derman's name is familiar in American police circles also, due largely to his writings in police science, his very distinguished career is all too little known.
