Synopsis

Excerpt from Law and Order Reconsidered: Report of the Task Force on Law and Law Enforcement to the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence

From the earliest days of organization, the Chairman, Commissioners, and Executive Director of the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence recognized the importance of research in accomplish ing the task of analyzing the many facets of violence in America. As a result of this recognition, the Commission has enjoyed the receptivity, encouragement, and cooperation of a large part of the scientific community in this country. Because of the assistance given in varying degrees by scores of scholars here and abroad, these Task Force reports represent some of the most elaborate work ever done on the major topics they cover.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

We are principally indebted to the dozens of scholars, practicing lawyers and other willing persons whose generous efforts, added on to already busy schedules, have made this Report possible. The names of those who have participated in the preparation of this Report are listed on pages 599 to 605 in three categories: contributors, consultants, and advisors. Contributors are those whose papers appear as chapters (or as the principal source of a chapter) in the Report. Contributors are also credited at the beginning of the particular chapters for which they are responsible. Consultants are those who submitted research papers which served as the building blocks for chapters or as important background pieces. Many of these are also credited at the beginning of the relevant chapters. Advisors are those who provided assistance to us in evaluating and reviewing various chapters in draft form. We are also in the debt of a research staff of devoted workers, led by Dale L. Smith, who spent long hours in libraries and on the phone conducting interviews, verifying source materials, and searching for hard-to-find facts. Their names appear on page 606. We especially appreciate the contributions of Carol A. Honus and our other secretaries who typed, retyped and kept track of a tremendous volume of material of which this book is only the ultimate distillation. Their names also appear on page 606. We wish to acknowledge the contribution of George L. Saunders, Jr., who led the Task Force during its early months and helped lay a foundation for its later work. Acknowledgement is also due to Leroy D. Clark for his assistance during this period. Finally, we wish to thank all theS taff Officers of the Commission for their help, and especially to mention the invaluable assistance of Lloyd N. Cutler, the Commission sE xecutive Director, who took the time to review the several drafts
