The Treatment of Crime in New Legislation

Unemployment and poverty have long been abolished in our country; the material and cultural levels of the working people, urban and rural, are continually advancing; their political consciousness is constantly rising. All this eliminates the causes of anti-social acts by individual citizens. I can report to you that compared with 1958 the number of convicted persons in 1959 declined by 20%. And what should be particularly stressed is that juvenile delinquency dropped by more than 50%.
