Download or read book The Origins and Development of Federal Crime Control Policy written by James D. Calder and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1993-08-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive account of President Herbert Hoover's policies to reform federal criminal justice administration. Beginning with the first words in his inaugural address, Hoover informed the public that a high priority of his administration would be to insist upon reorganization, qualitative improvement, new efficiencies, and formal study of justice system organizations in the federal system. Calder examines Hoover's background and affinity for justice system reform, the campaign trail and crime control issues of 1928 and 1929, intellectual and practitioner resources, the Wickersham Commission, and the reforms of the federal law enforcement, court, and prison systems. Drawing upon extensive primary source collections, this book provides a thorough examination of the Hoover initiatives and assesses their impact on later federal policy. It will be of considerable interest to political scientists, social historians, and those involved in criminal justice programs.

The Comprehensive Crime Control Act contains the most significant series of changes in the federal criminal justice system ever enacted at one time.

Crime Control in America: What Works?, 3e, provides in-depth coverage of policing, prosecution and courts, and legislative methods of crime control.

Finally, it covers environmental criminology and explanations of large-scale crime trends, particularly the reductions witnessed during the 1990s.

Book excerpt: States and localities have the primary responsibility for prevention and control of domestic crime, while the federal government's role is limited. As crime became more rampant, the federal government has increased its involvement in crime control efforts. Over a period of 20 years, Congress enacted five major anti-crime bills and increased appropriations for federal assistance to state and local law enforcement agencies. Since the terrorist attacks, however, federal law enforcement efforts have been focused more on countering terrorism and maintaining homeland security. Amid these efforts, however, Congress continues to address many crime-related issues. Many have attributed the increased attention the federal government gave to crime issues in the 1980s and 1990s to rising crime rates. The violent crime rate began to increase in the 1960s, peaking in the late 1980s and mid-1990s and began to decline in the late 1990s, continuing to the present day. The decline in the violent crime rate coincides with national attention being focused away from domestic crimes and more on securing the homeland against terrorism. The declining violent crime rate coupled with the recent terrorist attacks have led Congress to focus federal funding to first responders, while federal funding to state and local law enforcement for more traditional crime fighting activities has seen a mix of increases and decreases. The 108th Congress consolidated two popular grant programs into a newly created grant program, but funded at a lower level -- raising questions about the amount and shape of federal support to state and local law enforcement in the future. Other crime-related issues have also surfaced in recent years. For example, the federal sentencing guidelines were called into question when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a provision in law that made them mandatory. Congress may consider legislation that would address the Court's concern with respect to the guidelines. Congress may also revisit the issue of sentencing disparity with respect to crack and powder cocaine. In addition to sentencing-related issues, other crime-related legislation may be the subject of oversight or further refining by Congress. For example, legislation that seeks to raise the standards of crime labs may continue to be an interest to the Congress, reflecting the wide variability in quality in the labs. Recently passed legislation aimed at protecting the public from sex offenders has come into question with respect to its effectiveness. Congress may want to examine more closely registration and notification laws and the sufficiency of federal funding for state registration enforcement. Other possible issues include providing oversight to the Department of Justice with respect to the development of national standards for preventing sexual assaults in prisons. Additionally, Congress may consider broadening the federal definition of hate crimes. Congress has begun to consider a measure (H.R. 1279) that would broaden the scope of the federal government's role in prosecuting violent crimes committed by members of youth gangs. With respect to gun control, Congress may consider legislation that would extend the semiautomatic assault weapons ban, which expired last year, as well as legislation that would regulate gun shows, among other things. This report will be updated as legislation warrants.
Download or read book Developments in Crime and Crime Control Research written by Klaus Sessar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the central features of modern German criminology in revealing the 'true nature of crime' follows the tradition of enlightment" instead of accommodating the approach of the criminal justice system. This contention is made by the editors of Developments in Crime and Crime Control Research, Drs. Sessar and Kerner, as they continue to bridge the traditional gap between Anglo-American scholars in criminology and their German counterparts. The language barrier has long been another contributing circumstance to the division of philosophy among countries, but recently, substantial attempts are being undertaken to examine more closely the differences among specific criminological schools of thinking. Drs. Sessar and Kerner point out that, although crime has its universality, a clear understanding of the various approaches to the problem of crime will prove of benefit to those in the field in all countries.
