Principle of
the plan to
appoint institute a set
of persons having possessing
so circumstanced as to have
a special interest
in the prevention
of delinquency
in its various
shapes, together
with such further
means as
can be devised
to enable them
to operate with
effect towards
that end

Responsibility
in point of reputation

That they may
possess this interest
matters should
be so ordered as
that they shall
be responsible
in some measure
in point
of reputation for
the success of the
such measures
of which they are
either authors or
conductors.

Control over
dangerous occupations

As to Amongst the
means that may
be put into their
hands for making
them to
act with new
and encreased
advantage, at
the head of
list may be
placed a system of licences
of the existing system
of licences, with
a view to the
establishing a
controul over
such occupations
in their nature
as may be observed
in their nature to afford
natural facilitation
or other encouragement
to the
commission of
crime or misdemeanour

This success will
depend upon
the future state
of the nation
in respect of delinquency
at
different periods
compared with
its past state, previous
to the institution
taken of the Board

Calendar of Delinquency

A task which should
therefore be included
in the duty
of the Board is
that of collecting
the proper materials
for and regularly
composing and
publishing a General
Calendar of Delinquency:
exhibiting
from time to time
under a regular
set of heads all
manner such
occurrences and matters of fact
the knowledge of
which can afford
assistance to the
mind in investigating
the causes
of delinquency in
its various several
shapes and
devising means measures
for the prevention
of it, and judging
of the effect
of such measures
when as from
time to time shall
have been taken instituted
for that purpose.

Calendar of Delinquency

Examples of Heads
for such a purpose

1. No of offence ranged under
the several heads
of delinquency
known to have
been committed
within a certain
period —
say a year

2. No of do known
to have been proscribed

3. Event of such
prosecutions
respectively —
viz: discharge
before full
commitment —
conviction —
acquittal — pardon
on the evidence
acquittal through
defect in law — pardon — death
which under prosecution

The heads to
be accommodated
if
to the nature
of the offence
and of the punishment,
and
the mode of prosecution —
and
therefore different
in some respects
in misdemeanours
from what they
are in Toulouse

Hope of
improvements.

Having thus
the whole stock
of applicable
data as far as
it can be collected
habitually
and necessarily
present to their
view, they may
be naturally
and as
it were habitually
called upon to
occupy themselves
in divising measures
for combating
delinquency
in all its shapes
old and not only old but new
as they necessarily
arise. from time
to time they come
to light — and
from time to time
as any measures
present themselves
as calculated to
promote that design
to digest
and report them
to the Board of
Treasury, or to
Parliament — or
both.

That it should
also be their duty
to report notify
and report upon
such proposals
as may happen

individuals — omitting one, but of course dwelling

them with more or less authentic according to that Item in annual Audit
