National Study Of The Aftermath Of Apprehension, Martin Gold, Jay R. Williams
National Study Of The Aftermath Of Apprehension, Martin Gold, Jay R. Williams
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
It appears, unfortunately, that what legal authorities now commonly do upon apprehending a juvenile for his delinquent behavior is worse than not apprehending him at all. Two independent studies demonstrate that apprehension itself encourages rather than deters further delinquency. Such a conclusion constitutes a serious indictment of current procedures. This article documents that conclusion and, together with the reactions to these data of men professionally concerned with the problem of delinquency, suggests what might be done about this problem.
Aftermath Of Apprehension: Social Scientist's Response, Richard B. Stuart
Aftermath Of Apprehension: Social Scientist's Response, Richard B. Stuart
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Gold and Williams suggest in National Study of the Aftermath of Apprehension that "It appears, unfortunately, that what legal authorities commonly do upon apprehending a juvenile for his delinquent behavior is worse than not apprehending him at all." If this conclusion is correct, and it is the result of two interrelated studies, then it should influence sweeping programmatic reforms in the social institutions concerned with promoting and safeguarding the development of youth. The intent of this article is to suggest avenues available for this reform both within and beyond the juvenile justice system. Before addressing the implications of the research, …
Aftermath Of Apprehension: Juvenile Court Judge's Response, John P. Steketee
Aftermath Of Apprehension: Juvenile Court Judge's Response, John P. Steketee
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
It would appear that juveniles find apprehension to be a reinforcement of their delinquent behavior. Being apprehended and questioned by the police, referred to juvenile court, meeting a probation officer, and going before a judge, not to mention the status one gains in one's group from police and/or court contact, can be a very significant chain of events for many adolescents who have never known the excitement of personal recognition by parents, school officials or even friends. For the first time, they are recognized and listened to, albeit for the wrong reasons. The attention need not be positive; shouting, scolding, …

Aftermath Of Apprehension: Family Lawyer's Response, Robert F. Drinan S.J.
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
It is contended here that Gold and Williams' statement of their thesis in National Study of the Aftermath of Apprehension that "apprehension itself encourages rather than deters further delinquency" is not what their research proves. The research proves rather that the revelation of the apprehension to the delinquent's parents without the consent of the youth apprehended is the real cause of the youth's further delinquency. Stated more precisely, it is the attitude of the parents towards the youth who has been apprehended by the police which is the critical factor in encouraging or deterring the youth from further delinquency.

The article concludes with suggestions for reform of the law and a reconsideration of ways to control the drinking driver.

False Or Suppressed Evidence: Why A Need For The Prosecutorial Tie, Ronald L. Carlson
Scholarly Works
Many United States Supreme Court decisions have overturned criminal convictions for the reason that the government employed false evidence to obtain the conviction or failed to disclose relevant evidence important to the defense. In reversing federal or state judgments, the Court often has located direct proof of wrongdoing by the prosecutor. The notorious "bloody shorts" case is an example in point.' There, the state introduced as evidence a pair of men's "blood-stained" undershorts to achieve conviction of the accused. When the blood turned out to be red paint, the Supreme Court granted habeas corpus relief to the defendant because "[it …

In his inaugural speech on January 3, 1967, Florida Governor Claude Kirk declared a War on Crime. For this purpose he announced the creation of a unique War on Crime Program. Its activities were to include a Citizen's Awareness Program, but its main function was directed to the investigation of crimes. As the Program's director, the Governor appointed Mr. George Wackenhut, the president of the Wackenhut Corporation, a large private investigation firm. Mr. Wackenhut agreed to provide his services for one dollar a year; his corporation was simultaneously retained to supply the Program with the necessary administrative facilities and investigative …

Short-Term Rehabilitation And Crim Prevention, Jon C. Mackay
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Any program designed to reduce the rate of recidivism in the United States must be viewed as a valuable tool of crime prevention. It can be safely said that at least two-thirds of the crimes committed every year are committed by recidivists, for over the past decade approximately fifty to sixty per cent of all offenders have become repeaters. Thus the elimination of the recidivist in our society would result in a minimum reduction of thirty-three per cent in the number of crimes committed over a given period of time. The task of eliminating recidivism has been left to the …

Theory And Application Of Roscoe Pound's Sociological Jurisprudence: Crime Prevention Or Control?, Louis H. Masotti, Michael A. Weinstein
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The current interest in reforming the administration of justice has been triggered by a number of factors including the 1967 report of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice and the treatment afforded arrestees during the civil disorders of the past few years. The nation is alarmed at the reported annual increases in crime, and this alarm was manifested in the 1968 presidential election when "law and order" became a major issue. Superficially the answer may seem clear: more effective enforcement of the law and, when necessary, more stringent laws. The critical issue, however, is a …

Vanderbilt Law Review
The public is being asked to make many important decisions which will affect the structure, jurisdiction and function of the juvenile justice system. Before making these decisions, it should have more facts about the present system and the proposed changes. The aim of this study, is to provide some of the needed information. This article, the first publication of the study, concerns the juvenile offender's initial contacts with the juvenile system, his relations with the police and the consequences of these relations. Thus far, this stage of the juvenile justice system has received far less attention than any other aspect …

The study reported in this volume does not try to enumerate and evaluate the rehabilitative programs which might be used in the community for serious offenders. Instead it surveys and reports what leaders of criminal justice agencies, universities, academic departments and professional schools have to say about what we must do to staff good probation and parole services with enough well-trained people to make the rehabilitation of convicted offenders in the community a realistic and trustworthy prospect.

The use of MACE and other chemical sprays by the police and the public has caused considerable comment and controversy during the last several years. Recognizing the seriousness of the problem, Professor Page analyzes the efficacy of present law to control the misuse of chemical sprays. In this analysis Professor Page first discusses the deve/opmellt of the use of MACE and the heated controversy that surrounds both its employment and potentially deleterious effects. He then turns to the application of intentional tort, negligence, warranty, and strict liability concepts as methods by which victims of MACE might hold the user or …

The Legitimation Of Electronic Eavesdropping: The Politics Of "Law And Order", Herman Schwartz
Michigan Law Review
This Article will examine some constitutional considerations raised by wiretapping and eavesdropping in light of recent Supreme Court decisions, the probable extent of such activity, the limitations imposed upon it by title III and the ABA Standards, and the arguments for the "necessity" of electronic surveillance. Finally, a few jaundiced comments will be offered about legislative and judicial lawmaking in the field of criminal justice, particularly in a time of crisis.
