---II

IN CONJUNCTION with the 1985 Annual Meeting,the Academy is offering a choice of faculty devel-

opment programs. These seminars and workshopsprovide an opportunity to catch up with recentresearch, acquire new skills, or become acquaintedwith developing areas in criminal justice.

Each session is a half day,giving time for a more extendedand intensive learning experi-ence than can be afforded inthe time usually allotted topanels and sessions during themeeting. Attendance will belimited, allowing for maxi-mum interaction with theworkshop leaders.

Two of these workshops arepresented in cooperation with

other organizations, and I am delighted to welcomethem and their participation in the 1985 ACJSmeeting. The National Institute of Justice is thecriminal justice research and training agency of thefederal government. The workshop they are produc-ing represents a new and important approach tocriminal justice administration. The college anduniversity program of the American Bar Associationseeks to promote law-related education at the post-secondary level and this is the first time that thenational associations of the legal profession andcriminal justice faculty have cooperated in this typeof endeavor.

Faculty development programs are an importanttool in maintaining and improving the quality ofcriminal justice education and research. I hope youwill find these three workshops productive, exciting,and enjoyable. More information about them and aregistration form will be found on page 31 of thisissue of A CjS Today. Participants must pre-registersince no on-site registration will be available in LasVegas.

The law in Denver states that it is unlawful to shootjackrabbits from the rear window of a street car.

A letter • • •Dear Dr. Bugge:

Thank you for your thoughtful letter on the Garner amicusbrief. The line between presenting research findings in anassertive manner and using them for advocacy is a thin one,and I appreciate your ideas on how to draw it.

I thought you might be interested in knowing what otherorganizations have joined the Police Foundation in this brief.They are:

Police Executive Research ForumPolice Management AssociationNational Organization of Black Law Enforcement ExecutivesInternational Law Enforcement Instructors AgencyInternational Law Enforcement Stress AssociationNational Association of Police PlannersNational Black Police AssociationReserve Law Officers Association of AmericaKentucky Association of Chiefs of PoliceUtah Association of Chiefs of PoliceIn addition, one sheriff and ten chiefs of police have joined

as individuals. Obviously, it is possible to disagree with thewisdom of the organizations and individuals involved, but Ihope that you will agree with me that ACJS does not finditself in company that could be called anti-police.

Again, thank you for your letter. I appreciate the fact thatyou took the time and trouble to make your views known.

Sincerely,

Dorothy Bracey

Criminal justice coordination in New York StateBy Mario M. CuomoGovernor of New York

Mario M. Cuomo is governor of the state of NewYork. Formerly a lawyer and professor of law, he firstcame to public notice in 1972, when he successfullymediated a series of disputes surrounding public housingand urban renewal. Having served as New York'ssecretary of state and lieutenant governor, he becamegovernor in 1983. He has attracted national attentionwith three speeches-his inaugural, in which he likenedthe political community to a family; the keynote addressat the 1984 Democratic National Convention; and aspeech at the University of Notre Dame, explaining howa Catholic politician could in good conscience supportlaws permitting abortion. He is the author of Forest HillsDiary: The Crisis of Low Income Housing. He was askedto outline his views on criminal justice. The followingarticle, written especially for AC]S Today, is the result.

Dorothy BraceyACJ S President

SINCE THE MID-60's, crime has been a major domesticissue, and crime control efforts have remained a top

governmental priority. This is justifiably so. The crime rate,as measured by the number of index offenses known to thepolice, increased three-fold from 1960 through 1980. In NewYork State, over one million serious crimes-murders, rapes,robberies, assaults, burglaries, and major thefts-are reportedto our police agencies each year. This constitutes an unaccept-able level, especially when one considers that the majorityof criminal acts go unreported.

The public, in its fear, outrage, and frustration, under-standably turns to the justice system for an answer. Thepeople perceive that we are losing the battle against crime, anda society that loses this battle is failing in its essential duty toprotect its citizens.

I realize there are some favorable statistics on crime.Nationally, reported crime declined by about 7 percent in1983, on top of a 3 percent drop in 1982. My home stateof New York has experienced an even greater proportionatedrop in the crime rate in recent years. From 1980 through1983, the rate of index offenses decreased by 15.2 percent,2 percent more than the nationwide change. In the first sixmonths of 1984, serious crime fell another 4.3 percent.

Citizens' Beliefs

However, these are statistics that are divorced from reality.The faces and lives of our citizens tell a different story aboutthe nature of our crime problem. Many of them that I havespoken with believe that crime and the fear it breeds havenever been worse, and they recognize the political bankruptcyof a government that has done little to reduce crime.

For all the tough talk, government has found creating aneffective criminal justice system difficult. Critics frequentlycontend that fragmentation and an absence of coordinationamong the components of the system are the primaryobstacles to upgrading the performance of our law enforce-

ment agencies. Despite general agreement on the need forimproved communication and cooperation among criminaljustice agencies, there had been little organized effort in thisarea until recently.

In New York State, the previous administration recognizedthe complexity of this situation. In March of 1981, thenGovernor Carey called upon a group of distinguished indi-viduals from various sectors of society, including business,labor, and the academic world to review existing criminaljustice policies and recommend new policies to improve thequality of justice within the state. The Executive AdvisoryCommission on the Administration of Justice was created,with the responsibility of recommending "actions to achievebetter coordination among various state criminal justiceagencies and between state and local criminal justice programs."

Important Responsibility

In its November, 1982 report, the commission expressedits conviction that "there is no more important responsibilityfor the new governor than to achieve a strengthened cohesionamong the parts of the system." The report included severalspecific recommendations on how this might be achievedincluding the appointment of a criminal justice administratorto coordinate the executive branch's criminal justice efforts,the creation of an interagency criminal justice policy group,and the implementation of an integrated criminal justiceinformation system.

As governor-elect, I carefully reviewed the report's recom-mendations. As one of my first official acts, I established theposition of state director of criminal justice. The responsibilityfor making the diverse elements of the criminal justice systemto work together toward common goals in a cooperative waywas institutionalized in the director's office.

The responsibilities of the director of criminal justice areextensive. They include the important task of developing amodern criminal justice information system to serve presentand future needs and acting as the governor's chief advisorand principal spokesperson on matters relating to criminaljustice. The office also serves as the governor's principal liaisonto both federal and local government agencies in this field,but the essential part of the role is in reviewing both existingand proposed policies and programs in order to improve thequality of justice in New York State. In this capacity, thedirector is called upon to make critical decisions to reconcileindividual agency goals with the state's overall criminal justiceneeds and priorities.

Sub-cabinet a Resource

Under the director's leadership, a criminal justice sub-cabinet comprised of the top administrators of nine stateagencies meets on a regular basis. Through this group, we areable to draw on the wealth of knowledge and experience ofsenior officials in discussing important policy issues anddeveloping comprehensive plans. With fiscal limitations beingthe economic reality of the day, the criminal justice systemmust increase its efficiency and productivity in order to meetits objectives. The mechanism of the sub-cabinet enables usto bring all our resources to bear on the most critical problems

ACJS position on Garner brief explainedBy James J. FyfeThe American University

Brian Bugge protests because ACJShas joined the Police Foundation'samici curiae brief in Tennessee v. Garner.He is entitled to his opinion, but hisjudgment is misinformed. I fear that hemay have misled AC]S Today readersinto thinking that the Academy hasstepped out of its scientific role andtaken some sort of polarizing kneejerkliberal position on a public policy issueof major import. It has not.

In joining the Garner brief, theAcademy has simply attested that thepurported value of the rule that allowspolice to shoot all fleeing felony suspectsis not supported by scientific study.I know that because I did much of thatstudy, drafted the Garner brief andsuggested that ACJS join it.

The rule that allows police to shootall fleeing felony suspects is notsupported by scientific study.

The circumstances in which Garnerdied are these: he apparently broke intoa neighbor's empty house, where hestole a wallet containing ten dollars anda costume jewelry ring. The police werecalled by a neighbor, arrived, lookedinto the house, saw nothing, and pro-ceeded toward the backyard. One officerthen heard a screen door slam, ran to theyard, and saw Garner running toward asix-foot high cyclone fence about 30feet from the rear of the house. Heshouted to Garner, who turned towardhim briefly, and then ran to the fence.The officer fired one shot, strikingGarner in the side of the head. At trial,when asked if Garner had been armed,the officer said no. The officer statedfurther that he had not thought Garnerto be armed or dangerous, because bothof his hands were on the cyclone fencewhen he was shot. When the officer'spartner heard the shot, he ran to the rearof the house and reached the dyingGarner within two or three seconds.

Thus, as Mr. Bugge suggests, thereis something more to this case than themere theft of ten dollars: Garner brokeinto some one's house to take ten dollars.But that is not the issue in this case. Theissue is that the laws of Tennessee and thelaws of more than 20 other states allowthe police to shoot any fleeing felonysuspect. As the attorneys for Tennessee

acknowledged before the Supreme Court,it would not have mattered whetherGarner was suspected of a white collaroffense or of breaking into an abandonedbuilding in the middle of a desertedfield; in either of those cases, the laws ofTennessee (and more than 20 otherstates) would have defined him as afelony suspect and would au thorizepolice to shoot to prevent his escape.

The abandoned building and whitecollar examples posed by the justices ofthe Supreme Court are not farfetched.Within the last few years, police officersin states allowing police to shoot anyfleeing felony suspect have legally shotand killed unarmed, nonviolent, non-assaultive, nonthreatening people fleeingfrom such suspected felonies as growinga small patch of marijuana on a desertedportion of a ranch, stealing a tape deckfrom a used car in a dealer's lot, stealingtwo toilet seat covers and a bath matfrom a hardware store, stealing smokeand water damaged portable radios froma long burned out and abandoned ware-house, and siphoning gasoline from agarage's pumps. Neither research norpolice experience suggests that suchshootings do anything for the cause ofeffective law enforcement.

The brief joined by ACJS takes nopolitical positions, and no amicus brieffrom any party has been filed in opposi-tion to it. Instead, the brief makes threearguments, none of which is contradictedby anything in the literature of researchersor police practitioners.

The brief joined by ACJS takes nopolitical position, and no amicusbrief from any party has been filedin opposition to it.

First, it informs the Supreme Courtthat, despite a considerable amount ofstudy, there is no evidence to supportthe argument that laws authorizing policeto shoot all fleeing felony suspectscontribute to the ability of the police tofight crime or to protect themselves.

Second, the brief points out that mostpolice departments already prohibitofficers from shooting people in circum-stances like those in which Garner waskilled by a Memphis police officer.Nothing in the research or police experi-ence indicates that these departmentsare any less effective at fighting crimethan are departments that allow back-shootings of unarmed, S'4", 100-pound,lS-year-olds like Garner. Indeed, in 1979.

the Memphis Police Department itselfprohibited such shootings. In doing so,it joined the police department thatemploys Mr. Bugge.

Third, the brief argues that lawsthat authorize such shootings do notadequately guide police officers' discre-tion, that they allow for arbitrariness,and that they expose officers to severeafter-the-fact criticism of actions thatthey were encouraged to take. What is itlike for the police officer who, afteracting in accord with the laws of hisstate and the rules of his department,finds himself excoriated by the press andby the public?

ACJS was obliged by its own state-ment of purpose to assist theSupreme Court by stating what itsmembers know about the effectof laws that permit police to shootany fleeing felony suspect.

Mr. Bugge's assertions aside, the lawenforcement community's perceptionsabout this brief have been extremelyfavorable, perhaps because many of thatcommunity joined it. They include thepolice chief executives in: Corpus Christi,TX; Reno, NV; Montgomery County,MD; Champaign, IL; Pompano Beach,FL; Baltimore County, MD; Moscow,ID; Santa Ana, CA; Lakewood, CO;Atlanta, GA; Genesee County, MI;Alexandria, V A; Fremont, CA; SanAntonio, TX; Colorado Springs, CO;Arvada, CO; Oak Park, IL; Denver, CO;San Diego County, CA; Fairfax County,VA; Amarillo, TX; Minneapolis, MN;Madison, WI; Charleston, SC; San Diego,CA; Lubbock, TX; Newport News, VA;Tallahassee, FL; Newark, NJ; ArlingtonCounty; VA; Omaha, NE; and Anchorage,AK.

In addition to these individual chiefsand ACJS, the organizations that joinedthe brief include the Police ExecutiveResearch Forum (a membership organiza-tion of police chiefs who command morethan 20 percent of American policepersonnel), the Police ManagementAssociation, the National Organization ofBlack Law Enforcement Execu tives,the International Law EnforcementInstructors Agency, the InternationalLaw Enforcement Stress Association, theNational Association of Police Planners,the National Black Police Association,the Reserve Law Officers Association of(Continued on page 28)

"...none SO blind ..."Does anyone care about prison reform?

By Thomas O. Murton

THE PENITENTIARY, the American "contribution" tocriminal justice reform, was conceived in 1790 and

implemented in 1818. From its inception, the prison has beensu bjected to reform efforts for 166 years. Of the myriadproblems facing the Republic since the American Revolutiontwo centuries ago, the single, pervasive, apparently unresolvabledilemma is that of the prison. Both prison administrators and"reformers" alike frequently agree on the problems and differonly slightly in their solutions.

The "causes" cited for prison unrest and disorder aredeceptive and diversionary in that they focus reform efforts onthe symptoms of real prison problems or on peripheral issuesthat are essentially irrelevant.

Prison reform is no mystery. It is not shrouded in the meta-phors of the Book of Revelations. Administrators may evensuspect what will work but lack the fortitude to try it.Witness: "Mr. Chairman, speaking for the wardens of America,

I want to assure you that we are doing the best wecan with the tools you have provided ... "

But sending a deviant democrat to an autocratic prison tobecome a responsible citizen when returned to society makesas much sense as caging a duck in a sand box and expectinghim to develop swimming skills. There you have it in onesentence: the training model must approximate the free worldif any transfer and application of the institutional experienceis to take place. Seems simple to this ole country boy.

In lieu of committing Deviant Duck to the sand box fortherapy, a sentence to the San Diego Animal Park (opened in1972) might prove more beneficial. In this "institution," theinmates (animals) run free while the guards (staff) are confined.This 1,800 acre park closely resembles the natural habitat ofthe animals, and park officials report lessened violence,minimal pathology, and increased vigor. In addition, for thefirst time in captivity, nine endangered species have repro-duced.

Well, so much for animals, but what about humans? Threenotable men, untrained in penology, replicated aspects of thefree world society in their prisons with impressive results.Witness: "... No responsible person knows how to reduce

prison violence or recidivism. If you just give usmore money ... "

Alexander Maconochie, superintendent of the worst prisonin the British Empire between 1840 and 1844, experiencedonly one killing, four escapes, and no uprisings. One hundredyears later a researcher stated that less than 3 percent of the1,450 prisoners discharged under Maconochie's system wereever reconvicted of a crime. As Maconochie stated 140 yearsago, "I found the island a turbulent, brutal hell, and left it apeaceful, well-ordered community ... the most completesecurity alike for person and property prevailed."Witness: "... we could discover what works and build more

prisons and train more guards ... "Thomas Mott Osborne was successively warden of two

prisons in New York in 1914 and 1915. Industrial productionincreased 21 percent under inmate supervision, wounds werereduced by one-half, and escapes dropped from 11 per year tothree. As Osborne said,

Dr. Murton has taught criminology at severaluniversities including his present position as visitingprofessor at Oklahoma State University. He also waswarden of the Arkansas State Penitentiary.

... the new system has been in operation (for two years)and the thing works. The truth of that fact no reluctantofficial and no stupid politician can argue out of exis-tence. It is a rock which affords a solid foundation forthe future of prison reform. (emphasis in original)

Osborne was right about the foundation of prison reform; hispredictions 67 years ago about the ability of "reluctantofficials" and "stupid politicians" to ignore his work have notbeen borne ou t.Witness: "... and thus reduce incidents and make the prison

a more productive experience for our inmates. "Between 1927 and 1934, Howard B. Gill built a walled

institution in Massachusetts with inmates then living in openhousing. Construction doubled under inmate foremen; tension,incidents, and escapes were reduced to minimal levels. As Gillobserved 50 years ago, "I think it has been demonstrated thatthe whole tone of an institution can be raised by this kind of(inmate) participation, of exchange of ideas, of expression ascontrasted with repression."

Maconochie, Osborne, and Gill held simple ideas ofhumanity, democracy, shared decision making, and provided aprison experience approximating the free world to which theinmate would return. The evidence that "it worked" is therefor all to see ... but most fail to perceive. Nonetheless,Maconochie, Osborne, and Gill were right.

But they were also fired and that fact offsets, in prisonadministrators' minds, those reformers' "dubious" achieve-ments.Witness: "As Texas Corrections Commissioner W. j. Estelle,

Jr. is quoted as saying, 'Efforts to make prison seemlike the real world are seen as a joke by bothprisoners and staff. Anyone who thinks differentlyis closing his eyes to reality. ' "

Perhaps. But as someone once said, "There are none so blindas those who choose not to see."

Maconochie cut through the rhetoric in 1839 while dis-cussing pseudo-reform efforts:

... in all cases I am persuaded, such palliatives will befound to aggravate, rather than mitigate, a real evil ...(officials) endeavor to suppress the indications of error,rather than remove error itself ... instead of seeking toimprove the apparatus of physical coercion, the realproblem is how we may, in whole or in part, advan-tageously dispense with it. (emphasis in original)Of course!

Witness: "As St. Christopher once said, 'It is better to lighta candle than to curse the darkness.' We are notinterested in digging up the skeletons of the past;we want to move on into the era of prison reform. "

Halfway around the world and 131 years after Maconochie'sanalysis of prison coercion, the chairman of the ArkansasPrison Board, commenting in 1970 on physical coercion,(Continued on page 32)

Louisiana Stateoffers degreein CJ research

San Franciscois site for '88Annual Meeting

7

The San Francisco Hilton will be thesite for the 1988 Annual Meeting of theAcademy of Criminal Justice Sciences."Bhagdad by the Bay" is the first choiceof meeting-goers in almost every surveyever taken. Not surprisingly, a 1983survey of ACJS members also rated SanFrancisco as number one. San Francisco'sbeau tiful location, varying attractions,and unique charm should help to ensurea well attended meeting in 1988.

The San Francisco Hilton and Towersis ideally located and is within walkingdistance of many of the city's mostpopular features. Union Square, China-town, and Fisherman's Wharf are allnearby. Of course, the Hilton has its ownattractions, including eight restaurantsand bars, as well as an outstanding con-vention area. With the support of a first-class city and a first-class hotel, theAcademy is already well on its way to afirst-class meeting in 1988.

In the assessment of environmentalinfluences on human health and humanbehavior, we have come to realize thatdisputes between nature and nurture,between genetics and environment, mustbe replaced by knowledge of the inter-actions of hereditary predisposition andresistance with factors in the environ-ment. Thus, a new field of research hasgrown up, 'ceo-generics,' which empha-sizes the variability in the host, as well asthe characteristics of environmentalagents."

This statement by Gilbert Omenn,M.D., Ph.D., dean of public health andcommunity medicine, University ofWashington, sets the tone for the pre-conference symposium, "Genetics andNutrition: Relevance to Learning Disa-bilities" at the International Conferenceof the Association for Children andAdults with Learning Disabilities (ACLD)at the San Francisco Hilton Hotel onFebruary 20.

Valerie E. Charlton, M.D., professor ofpediatrics, University of California, SanFrancisco will discuss "The Effects ofFetal Nutrition on the Central NervousSystem." In "Genetic Analysis of Learn-ing Disorders: A Differential Diagnosis"Shelley D. Smith, Ph.D., medical geneticistat Boys Town National Institute forCommunication Disorders in Children,will show participants how to determinewhether or not a particular learningdisability may be genetically based.

Other presentations will include thoseby Barton Childs, M.D., professor ofpediatrics, Johns Hopkins Hospital,speaking on the relationship of geneticsand learning disabilities and John P.Blass, M.D., Ph.D., professor of neurologyand medicine, Cornell University MedicalCollege, presenting nutritional and bio-chemical aspects of learning disabilities.

LIBRARY RESOURCES

for criminal justice

ALL CRIMINAL JUSTICE research-ers, librarians, and students-and

most practitioners-know about theNational Institute of Justice/NCJRS,but not all realize the scope of its servicesand how easy it is to take advantage ofthem.

As the government's centralizednational information clearinghouse forcriminal justice since 1971, the NationalCriminal Justice Reference Service hasbeen able to develop new products andservices-a comprehensive microficheprogram designed to offer researchersand practitioners inexpensive and readyaccess to entire documents; audio-visualmaterials, which include listings ofcriminal justice films and videotapesfrom the NCJRS collection and loans ofthe tapes and films at cost; and a leasearrangement for the NCJRS data base onmagnetic tape.

NCJRS's staff of information special-ists can guide researchers outside theconfines of a traditional researchapproach. Custom searches of the NCJRSdata base and other related data bases,selective dissemination of information(a customized search strategy to matchan interest profile), technical assistanceto criminal justice libraries, and docu-ment loan programs serve to expandresearch capabili ties.

One of the riches of the NCJRScollection is that it captures much of theso-called "fugitive literature," such asnever-published local and regional reports,city-specific training manuals, and otherelusive documents. In addition, NCJRSis well-stocked with commerciallypublished documents such as journalarticles and criminal justice dissertations.

Researchers often can save time andmoney by coming first to NCJRS ratherthan collecting data from other, scatteredsources. The NCJRS data base includesa broad range of criminal justice interestareas, including law enforcement, crimeprevention, corrections, courts, andspecific topic areas such as organizedcrime, computer crime, and victimsassistance. NCJRS information specialists

encourage researchers and practitionersto contact them before starting a datacollection project.

Information queried from the database can assist in the planning anddevelopment of an agency, departmental,or corporate research agenda. The database is supported by a full-text documentlibrary in the NCJRS reading room inRockville, MD, near Washington, DC.Every citation retrieved from the database has an identifying number, whichcan be used to borrow documents fromthe library.

The CJIE Group

The Criminal Justice InformationExchange (CJIE) Group is a new venturein library cooperation. An informalgroup, CJIE is coordinated by theNational Institute of Justice/NCJRS. Itspurpose is to improve communicationamong member libraries that serve thecriminal justice community, to alertcriminal justice researchers and practi-tioners to libraries that will assist them,and alert libraries to documents and otheraids to support reference and researchservices.

All libraries are invited to becomemembers-municipal and public, specialand agency, and academic. This associa-tion costs nothing but cooperation-andit can provide real benefits to patronswho are in the criminal justice field.

NCJRS librarians often turn to otherlibraries to meet the needs of NCJRSpatrons. In turn, NCJRS shares resourceswith other libraries that serve users withcriminal justice interests.

Microfiche Program

To make documents in the NCJRScollection widely available in their fulltext, NCJRS has developed a compre-hensive microfiche program that addressesthe needs of occasional users as well asthe needs of criminal justice libraries.Currently, more than 21,000 of the78,000 documents in the NCJRS collec-

tion are on microfiche. Microfichedocuments consist of uncopyrighteddocuments and copyrighted publicationswhose publishers have given NCJRSpermission to disseminate in this form.Free copies of up to 10 documents onmicrofiche are available by request.

NCJRS's selective dissemination ofinformation program (SDI) offers, atcost, a continuing supply of full-textdocuments in microfiche on topics ofchoice. Criteria for selecting titles withthis program are set by the user. AnNCJRS information specialist will helpprepare a search strategy to identifythe most relevant titles in a given topicarea. NCJRS will then automaticallyship new, topical microfiche publicationsat regular intervals.

Selected Libraries in Microfiche (SLIM's)

Microfiche documents on selectedtopics have been grouped by NCJRS intopackages containing as many as 500titles. These serve as mini-libraries foragencies, organizations, or academic insti-tutions that want to build their owncriminal justice reference collections.SLIM's are available, so far, in fivetopic areas: police research, juvenilejustice publications of the U.S. Depart-ment of Justice, commission reports(five major national law enforcementcommissions), publications of theNational Institute of Justice, 1968-1978,and terrorism. Two new SLIM's will beavailable in the near future: familyand domestic violence and alternativeapproaches to dispute resolution. CustomSLIM's are available to NCJRS users whowish to build microfiche libraries onother topics.

All documents on microfiche as ofthe middle of 1984 are available, at cost,as a package to institutions and libraries,enabling them to put the latest criminaljustice findings at their researchers'fingertips. The full text of 21,500 docu-ments represents nearly one-quarter ofthe NCJRS data base.

Document Retrieval Index (DRI)

The DRI is another NCJRS microficheproduct. This annotated index lists alldocuments in the data base and is up-dated annually, which enables its usersto keep it current. The DRI lists onlydocument citations and distributioninformation. The DRI provides accessto the NCJRS collection by author,title, and subject.

Ad hoc committee to studycriminal justice course use

President Dorothy Bracey hasappointed an ad hoc committee to studycriminal justice courses in core generaleducation requirements. The committeewill be chaired by Larry K. Gaines ofEastern Kentucky University. Its memberswill include: Stephen Brown, EastTennessee State University; LawrenceTravis, University of Cincinnati; andRobert Walsh, University of Houston.

The purpose of this committee will beto research the extent to which justicerelated courses are being used in coregeneral education requirements andstrategies used to obtain their inclusion.

Numerous criminal justice educatorshave attempted with mixed results tohave one or more of their courses includedin their university's general educationrequirements. The primary purpose ofthis project will be to develop infor-mation that can be used by criminaljustice educators when presenting theirproposals to university administrators.

Information produced as a result ofthis project will include: a listing ofschools where a justice related course is

included in general education require-ments, titles and summarized coursedescriptions of such courses, problemsencountered when attempting to getjustice courses accepted into the generaleducation curriculum, and strategies usedby those who have been successful. Thecommittee hopes that this project willprovide criminal justice educators theammunition to overcome some of theobstacles as they attempt to have criminaljustice courses included in general educa-tion.

The committee is now attempting toestablish the parameters for a question-naire and develop items to obtain maxi-mum information. A round table discus-sion of the project will take place at theLas Vegas meeting. All interested partiesare encouraged to attend. The committeedesires input from as many sources aspossible.

The questionnaire, once completed,will be mailed to all four-year criminaljustice programs. The committee requeststhose receiving the questionnaire to giveit their full consideration.

FOUR AGENCIESARE ACCREDITED

Four law enforcement agencies havebeen granted nationwide accreditation bythe Commission on Accreditation forLaw Enforcement Agencies, Inc.

The agencies are: Arlington County,VA, Police Department; BaltimoreCounty, MD, Police Department; ElkhartCounty, IN, Sheriff's Department; andNorth Providence, RI, Police Department.

"These four agencies, along with theMt. Dora, FL, Police Department, whichwas the first to be accredited in May,1984, are pioneers in a program toprovide quality law enforcement fromcoast to coast," says Commission Chair-man Kenneth H. Medeiros, Bismarck, ND,chief of police.

Commission Executive Director JamesV. Cotter observes that the impact ofaccreditation will be felt not only inthese agencies, but throughout thecommunities they serve.

"Through accreditation, which isgranted for a five-year period, law enforce-ment takes on new dimensions of pro-fessionalism," Cotter states. "Agencyexecutives, their staffs, citizens ... all canbe sure of excellence."

Battered Women and Their FamiliesIntervention Strategies and Treatment Programs

ALBERT R. ROBERTS, D.S.W.

When a Marital Powder-Keg Explodes"It is the first book to give professionals a compre-hensive discussion of the issues, policies, pro-grams, and skills necessary for dealing with do-mestic violence ... Unlike most monolithic bookson the topic of domestic violence, Roberts' book il-lustrates the intervention methods found to bemost effective with abused women, their part-ners, and their children ....

"This book will enable the police to walk intopotentially volatile family disputes with thoroughknowledge of the dynamics and skills involved,and a strategic plan of action ....

"As a result of many years of experience devel-oping crisis intervention programs and trainingpolice in Connecticut, New Jersey, and Maryland,Roberts is sensitive to the frustrations anddangers that police officers encounter in familycrisis situations ....

"If you are going to read one book on the topic ofdomestic violence, this book should be the one."

in meeting the demands placed upon the police in amodern social order. In the third place, a professiondemands an adequate literature and I have in a smallway made some contribution to the cause. Further-more, though I retired in 1963, the rocking chair-andI have a nice one about 200 years old-has neverseemed very attractive to me."

When asked his opmion of the current literaturein his field, Leonard remarked, "Seemingly, thecriminal justice system as a whole is being over-worked, and suggests the need for individual atten-tion to the basics-the police, the prosecutor, thecourts, corrections, parole and probation, punish-ment, rehabilitation, role of the people and thecommunity, role of the media, the challenge ofdelinquency and crime prevention, with appropriaterecognition of an emerging new discipline, behavioralmedicine."

write for several reasons-the creative pleasure ofturning a sentence or a paragraph that come up tomy standards. Words can be a powerful thing andwhen the writing is equal to the occasion, they canseize the reader to ignite the imagination and throughcross-fertilization, lead to the indefinite birth of newideas. After the completion of the manuscript forthe first edition of Police Organization and Manage-ment, it took me three months to put together thefirst sentence that launched the book at the beginningof the first chapter. Sometimes, it doesn't come quickand easy.

GARNER BRIEF(Continued from page 4)

America, the Kentucky Association ofChiefs of Police, and the Utah Chiefs ofPolice Association. In addition, the policechiefs' associations of Colorado andMinnesota filed notice of their agreementwith the brief after the formal deadlinefor joining had passed.

The only other brief filed in this casecame from the National Bar Association.Although they came down on the sameside of this case, they had no part what-ever in the brief joined by ACJS.

Garner presents no liberal versusconservative political issues. It presentsthe Supreme Court only one question:are laws that allow police to shoot anyfleeing felony suspect constitutional?

None of the individuals or organiza-tions who signed the brief joined byACJS is entitled to answer that question.But ACJS was obliged by its own state-ment of purpose to assist the SupremeCourt in its deliberations by informingthe Court of what its membership knewabout the effects of laws that permitpolice to shoot any fleeing felony suspect.

The purpose of the university is toprovide information. When for the firsttime in American history, the SupremeCourt considers a life or death issue thathas been extensively studied by membersof a university based association, thatassociation is remiss if it does not tellthe Court what it knows. If it waits forthe "filtering effects of enlightened andprofessional administrators ('very few' ofwhom belong to it) being exposed to(its) activities," it is merely an ivory-tower institution that benefits nobodybut its membership.

DIFFERENTIAL POLICE RESPONSE-presented in cooperation withthe National Institute of Justice

Responding to calls for service consumes abou t 50 percentof a police department's resources, but most such calls arenot emergencies. This two-year, three-city research projectexplores alternative strategies for responding to various calls.In doing so, it challenges many long-held assumptions aboutpolice management and policy, fiscal planning, and citizens'

demands. The pilot cities' success in prioritizing calls anddeveloping optional response strategies while maintaining andimproving community satisfaction is a superb example of whatcan be gained when research results are intelligently appliedto police policy making and administration.

The seminar leaders are Lou Mayo, National Institute ofJustice; Frank Kessler, chief of police, Garden Grove, CA;and James Luman, captain, Greensboro, NC.

There is no charge for this workshop but attendance islimited and will be by pre-registration only. A certificate ofattendance will be presented to each registrant.

We have found this organizational framework to beespecially effective in achieving necessary reform of thecriminal justice process and helping to mold the componentsof the system together. It works because the director is rela-tively removed from taxing concerns regarding the implemen-tation of policy and is free to develop policy that is in thepublic interest. There is no conflict of interest because the

PRISON REFORM(Continued from page 6)

stated that "between 1916 and 1950 there were 110 Negroesand 107 whites who were listed as escapees and neverrecaptured." The Arkansas Democrat noted:

(Chairman John) Haley believes that those 110 Negroesmay not have escaped. He said that he believes a lot ofthem are buried ou t there in the fields of CumminsPrison Farm and were conveniently listed as havingescaped. This brings up the old argument of formerprison Superintendent Thomas O. Murton and theskeletons he dug up in 1968 to create a national sensa-tion. Murton ended up getting fired, largely over thepublicity caused by the skeltons. Now, Haley says, everyso often something comes up to back up the buriedprisoner stories.The rain still falls gently on that Arkansas mule pasture

director is not allied with any particular agency to the detri-ment of others. Criminal justice administrators and constituentgroups now have a definite place to go with any problems theymight have. No longer do they have to negotiate the changingmaze of the bureaucracy to find assistance or reaction to aproposed policy.

The exchange of information-both among state agenciesand between state, local, and federal agencies-is enhanced,and the area of criminal justice commands the attention itdeserves. And, what is most important to me, more getsaccomplished because all actors in the criminal justice systemare active participants in the policy making process.

work over the burial site of an estimated 200 of their fallencomrades. The politicians speculate on the cotton crops andthe next catfish fry while prison administrators plead forunderstanding from a tiring judge who frowns from time totime. And the ACLU and other avowed civil rights groupsstruggle fearlessly over such "reform" issues as each inmatehaving access to a notary public 24 hours a day.

Meanwhile, the Arkansas River flows silently and relent-lessly through the prison farm where its levees contain notonly the flood waters but human skeletal remains discoveredduring core drilling some 45 years ago. And prison reform, asthe bodies of some convicts, lies out of sight and beyond thegrasp of the only group of citizens who really cares ... theArkansas prison inmates.Witness: "In conclusion, let me say that the future of prison
