 STUDY OF IVOMEN CRIMINALS 543

These results I have not yet compared, so I am unable to say in what they differ from those of the students.

All of the psychological tests show a marked difference between the immoral women, who are those generally found in workhouses, and the women who commit felonies, who are those generally found in the penitentiaries. If the results from the technically criminal class were considered separately from those of the workhouse class, the average would be higher. The pros- titute mentally and physically is more defective than the crim- inal. Where the differences between the two classes have been great I have separated them, giving the average for each, or calling attention to the fact of the difference.

I have here presented, as briefly as possible, the experiments, meiliods, and results. There remains now the presentation of the results of the sociological investigation, and the correlation of the two — the apjilication of the one to the other, and the relation to social phenomena.
