Description

CRIME indicates: 1) persons who had been convicted of a crime in the previous year, even if they were not in jail, and 2) incarcerated criminals. The nature of the person's offense is noted. The instructions to enumerators urged reliance on county records and the enumerator's "own knowledge" to identify non-institutionalized criminals, since questioning families directly "might give offense."
