SUMMARY OF DATA ON ORIGIN AND BIRTHPLACE . males 127, the latter being more than three times greater than the rate for the Canadian born, The age distribution of the British and foreign born males is more favourable to crime than that of the Canadian born. However, there were only three quinguennial age groups between 15 and 60 years when the penitentiary rate for the foreign born males was not more than twice that for the Canadian born, and in those three cases the rates were only slightly less than double. A similar comparison of the Canadian and British born reveals very small differences between the penitentiary rates for the males of those nativity groups at the various ages. ‘While the foreign born as a group were thus less law-abiding by half than the Canadian born after considerations of age and sex are eliminated, if one takes the sex and age dis- tribution as it actually existed in 1921, the problem of law enforcement in respect to major offences was four times greater for the foreign born than for the Canadian born. Peni- tentiary data thus confirm the previous conclusions based on indictable offences. (4) When the analysis is made by specific countries of birth, it is found that the peni- tentiary rates for the males 21 years of age and over from the five foreign countries from which the largest numbers of male immigrants have come in recent years, were as follows: — TOY suns is smumunwnnit sce same 337 Poland ......... .. o.oo... 182 Austria v..ioiiieiiiiinene.. 273 Russia ..ooovvviiiininninn,... 144 Roumania ..........coovvuee... 209 The rate for all foreign born males was 142. The rate for the North Western European born males was 59, as against 185 for the South, Eastern and Central European born.

The close proximity of the United States and the ease of crossing the international boundary makes Canada peculiarly subject to temporary visits of professional criminals from that country.
