Summary: "Criminal Types" by Col. V. M. Masten is a semi-technical examination of the nature of crime and criminals, written in the early 20th century. The work aims to address misconceptions about crime and offers insights into the psychological and societal factors that shape criminal behavior. Masten explores various types of criminals, emphasizing that there is no single archetype, but rather a spectrum of motivations and circumstances that lead individuals down the path of crime. The opening of the text introduces the author’s intent to reform societal views on crime prevention and rehabilitation. Masten argues that while some criminals may be born into a life of crime, many are shaped by their social circumstances and individual choices. He critiques current penal systems for failing to hold criminals accountable for restitution and instead calls for a system that emphasizes deterrence and the necessity of social responsibility. The author suggests that understanding the complex motivations behind criminal behavior is essential in developing effective strategies for crime reduction and rehabilitation.
