Author Description

Excerpt from Report on Criminal Remedies in Massachusetts for Failure to Furnish Support: Report No. 7, August, 1916 Criminal Remedies in Massachusetts for Failure to Furnish Support. The rapid growth in recent years of criminal remedies for failure to furnish support, developing at last into the Uniform Desertion Act, St. 1911, c. 456, amended by St. 1912, c. 264, c. 310, St. 1914, c. 520, the Illegitimate Children Act, St. 1913, c. 563, and the Destitute Parents Act, St. 1915, c. 163, has created a need for a practical monograph upon the subject. While uni formity of decision and procedure among the seventy lower courts of the Commonwealth, as well as in the Superior Court, is most desirable, differences in sentences and methods still exist, in cases brought under these acts. The committee trusts that this mono graph may lead to uniformity in practice and greater effectiveness in the solution of the problems presented in cases of this character.
