Survey Shows 260 Cited Here in Past 6 Months Increase of 640 in City During '37 Brooklyn led all other boroughs in the number of sex crimes from July through December, 1937, It was revealed today in a study of these crimes in the city compiled by the Citizens Committee on the Control of Crime In New York. In concluding an analysis of the situation the committee, headed by llarry P. Guggenheim, calls for a uniform procedure in the handling of sex crimes and simplification of the legal definitions of these crimes and statutory provisions for dealing with them. Figures supplied by the committee show that for the period covered by the survey Brooklyn had 248 sex cases in courts involving 260 defendants. Manhattan was second with 222 cases and 231 defendants and Queens stood fourth with 80 cases and 88 defendants.

Police department records for tl; full year of 1937, the report states, show an increase of 640 sex crimes throughout the entire city. "Shocking as the increase from 1936 to 1937 is, "the report continues, "warning of its coming was given long ago, though evidence Is lacking that any of those with official or lay concern in the matter paid heed to the portents. So indifferent had they been, indeed, that last August, when the community was led to believe that a "wave" of sex crimes was sweeping the city, no one was prepared to set forth the facts. "The facts were that both April and May had been marked by more sex offenses than August April with 175, May with 211 and August with 159. When the clamor of August had died down, when the newspapers had ceased to publish every complaint of a real or suspected sex offense made to the police, when officials no longer were making statements regarding the situation when laymen had turned from their rhetoric, September passed August's mark by 18 cases and no word was spoken of it." 2 Out of 5 Dismissed According to the findings of the committee, two out of every five sex crime defendants are dismissed in court; one of every five is found guilty; two of every five come to sentence and one of every five is punished for the offense charged against him.

"This is neither a good or poor showing," the report charges. "It is the average accomplishment of procedure in the criminal courts of New York. Whether it is a showing with which the community should be satisfied is a grave question." Along these lines the report criticizes the prevalent practice of allowing "bargain pleas" to be accepted in sex cases, pointing out that although some condone the practice as speeding up the court calendar, "bargain pleas constitute, nevertheless, a prime factor in the sex-crime problem. The graver the offense the higher the proportion of them." Only 12 P. C.

'Repeaters In the discussing recidivism or the "repeating" record of sex offenders, the report declares that evidence from the records "strongly supports a conclusion that 'repeaters' among sex offenders are not the menace they have been thought to be. Of the 657 defendants embraced in our study, 82, or 12 percent had prior records. Only 21 of the 82 had been charged before with sex offenses, convictions resulting in 11 instances." In calline for uniform procedure on crime cases in the various courts and for the consolidation or crime laws, the report states that "now one kind of action is taken under the Code of Criminal Procedure, another comes under the mental Hygiene Law and a third under the Correction Law. "Simplification is cried for in this matter, which can be of such Importance in finding eventually alleviation, if not the cure, of the sex-crime malady. Simplification Urged "Simplification is called for, too.

In the statutory definitions of sex crimes and the statutory provisions for dealing with them. In the matter of impairing morals, for illustration, the statute is among the broadest on our books," the report continues. "To indicate Its range with but two examples, there are pending now two cases brought under this law, o3 of which cites a cafe owner for employing a 14-year-old girl as an entertainer, while the other Involves two youths who established a craps game at a Long Island City school. "These, of course, are not sex offenses, but they are grouped with sex offenses under the law and, except in our records, are entered statistically with sex offenses. As for procedure, it is necessary only to cite the high barrier against the doing of full justice so often erected by the stipulation of corroboration." Courts Are Praised The committee's report was high in praise of the record showing that the courts were directing a greater number of defendant; be held for psychiatric examination.

The "encouraging fact" shows, the report discloses, that one out of every eight defendants in the magistrates and special sessions courts are being held for mental examination. f.
