Summary "The Crime Doctor" by E. W. Hornung is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to Doctor John Dollar, an unconventional expert in criminology who believes that all crime is a form of madness. The narrative explores his philosophy of preventing crime through understanding, aiming to save potential criminals from their own worst impulses while grappling with the complexities of morality and justice. The opening of the book sets the stage for a dramatic and intriguing premise, as Doctor Dollar discusses his radical views on crime with the Home Secretary, Topham Vinson. Their conversation reveals Dollar's unique approach to understanding and addressing criminal behavior, stemming from his own traumatic experiences. As the discussion unfolds, it hints at Dollar's methods and practices, which include running a nursing home for potential criminals, showcasing his intent to intervene before individuals turn to actual wrongdoing. With an engaging mix of crime, ethics, and psychological insights, the beginning of "The Crime Doctor" invites readers into a world that challenges the conventional views on law and order.
