Defining The Limits Of Crime Control And Due Process, Richard Frase
Defining The Limits Of Crime Control And Due Process, Richard Frase
Articles
In his latest book, Hans Zeisel argues that "law enforcement, important and essential as it is, cannot by itself significantly reduce crime" (p. 15). Thus, he concludes, we should redirect our efforts toward general prevention, starting with improvements in ghetto schools. Zeisel's thesis is supported by data from his study of the disposition of felony arrests in New York City 1 and is supplemented by his assessment of the results of recent criminal justice research in other jurisdictions. Zeisel, a pioneer in the application of social science research methods to issues of law and public policy, 2 presents a wealth …

United States Foreign Policy And Human Rights: An Overview, David Weissbrodt
United States Foreign Policy And Human Rights: An Overview, David Weissbrodt
Articles
The organizers of this symposium asked me to provide a back- ground for the present status of human rights in the foreign policy of the United States Government. They suggested that I provide a his- tory of the subject, stressing the approach of President Carter. I have written such a history, stressing the United States human rights legis- lation which was not created by President Carter, but which he found already in place when he reached the White House. Rather than recite this historical background, I think it would be more useful to look at three basic questions which might …
