"14. That we are in favor of any legislation that will secure a definite standard of qualification for medical men giving expert testimony." An equal amount of consideration has been given to this important question from time to time by the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology. At a recent meeting of that organization the following recommendations were submitted by a committee: "1. That in all cases of felony or misdemeanor punishable by a prison sentence the question of responsibility be not submitted to the jury, which will thus be called upon to determine only that the offense was committed by the defendant. "2. That the disposition and treatment (including punishment) of all such misdemeanants and felons, i.e., the sentence imposed, be based upon a study of the individual offender by properly qualified and impartial experts cooperating with the courts. "3. That provisions be made permitting the transfer of such misdemeanants and felons at any time after conviction from one institution to another affording a different kind of treatment upon the presentation of evidence of the needs for such action satisfactory to the court which passed sentence. "4. That no maximum term be set to any sentence. "5. That no parole or probation be granted without suitable psychiatric examination. "6. That in considering applications for pardons and commutation careful attention be given to reports of qualified experts showing the applicant's mental age and mental stability and that in drafting statutes determining or defining juvenile delinquency, mental age and mental stability, within reasonable limits, be regarded as of importance with the calendar age of the delinquent. "In view of the foregoing and as an initial step towards the ends stated, the committee submits the following resolution and urges its immediate adoption: "Resolved, That the several states be urged to make provision for the psychiatric examination, under conditions permitting prolonged observation when necessary, of all persons convicted of a felony, misdemeanor or other offense by properly qualified experts appointed to assist the court in reaching a decision as to the proper disposition and treatment of the offender."
