Includes persons of unstated age. When the European stocks are arranged by geographical and linguistic groups as in Table 122, the numbers are more representative and ihe rates more reliable. The North Western European group of foreign stocks had 21 per 100,000 21 years of age and over in penitentiaries in 1921, while the South, Eastern and Central group showed a figure of 138— a proportion nearly seven times greater than that for the North Western Europeans. The Latin and Greek stocks had a proportion some ten to twelve times greater than that for the Scandinavian and Germanic peoples, and the Slavie stocks a proportion four to six times greater. Were it not for the Ukrainians, who form a very considerable proportion of the Slavic population in Canada, the rate for the latter group would have been higher than actually appears. So much for the crude data and their practical bearing on the problem of law enforce- ment in the various ‘origin’ groups in Canada. Now these differences are by no means entirely due to birthplace or age and sex distribution. It becomes apparent that a genuine factor of origin and heredity is involved, when one compares the groups in the light of previous sections of this study. The Slavie stocks, for instance, showed a considerably smaller proportion 21 years of age and over than the Scandinavians, as well as a much smaller surplus of males. Yet in spite of an age and sex distribution less favourable to crime than that of the Scandinavian peoples, the rate in penitentiaries for the Slavic group was four and a half times greater. The fact that the proportion born on this continent was some 7 p.c. smaller for the Slavs than for the Scandinavians offsets in some measure the difference on the score of age and sex distribution, but is certainly not adequate to account for the striking spread in the propor- tions in penitentiaries. It would seem that the difference is mainly due to origin and heredity. The figure for the Latin and Greek group may be unduly high because of some- "4499121
