ABSTRACT
The administration of criminal justice represents, to a wide extent, nothing but an annex to the economic activities of the community and cannot therefore be entirely separated from the economic life of the individual citizen. The whole problem narrows down to the simple question how far it is economically possible to conduct the administration of business and that of criminal justice in such a way as effectively to prevent certain widespread forms of delinquency. The methods of administration used in the postal service are also of great importance for the development of special types of crime. The development of the use of automatic machines for the sale of goods must be regarded as a further example of how the growth of crime follows specific methods of business administration. Such a change in administration would obviously not only prevent the majority of defalcations altogether, but would at least make it impossible for such defalcations to continue over many years.
