'That Severity of Punishment is unlikely to diminish Crime'
MR. ROY CALVERT and SIR GERVAIS
RENTOUL, M.P.
The recent increase in the number of crimes of violence and banditry has revived demands for greater severity of punishment. The ethics and efficacy of punishment are debated by two well-known protagonists. Mr. Roy Calvert for many years has been actively engaged in propaganda for penal reform: Sir Gervais Rentoul was a member of the Select
Committee of the House of Commons on Capital Punishment in 1930. Tho debate takes the form of two speeches, each speaker having previously soon his opponent's arguments.
