The feeble-minded are easily led and feebly inhibited. They are naive rather than vicious. One may think of the mentally deficient offender, therefore, not so much as an aggressor toward society as a victim of social circumstances. Constructive legislation and the sound administration of justice can do much toward improving the protection of society by well-advised concern for the welfare of its mentally deficient members.
