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 …

Personal Privacy In The Computer Age: The Challenge Of A New Technology In An Information-Oriented Society, Arthur R. Miller

Michigan Law Review

The purpose of this Article is to survey the new technology's implications for personal privacy and to evaluate the contemporary common-law and statutory pattern relating to data-handling. In the course of this examination, it will appraise the existing framework's capacity to deal with the problems created by society's growing awareness of the primordial character of information. The Article is intended to be suggestive; any attempt at definitiveness would be premature. Avowedly, it was written with the bias of one who believes that the new information technology has enormous long-range societal implications and who is concerned about the consequences of the …

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.

A Goal-Oriented Model Code Of Pre-Arraignment Procedure For Wisconsin, Cyril D. Robinson

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In this article we analyze the arrest chapter of the proposed code as it was substantially completed at the time the project was terminated, although it has been updated to accommodate relevant recent case law. We examine the need for guiding principles in drafting a code, the proper aims and organization of the code, the proposed provisions of the arrest chapter, and the law and practice which recommend both the principles and the provisions.

Reflections From A Different Perspective, B. J. George Jr.

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

A signal fact of the 1960's is the widespread attention being paid to modernization of America's criminal law and procedure. After nearly a century of patchwork adjustments of state codes or fragmentary modification of the common law, the federal government and a great many states are moving toward new substantive codes and new codes or rules of criminal procedure. As one who has been working as a reporter in Michigan's endeavor to revise its criminal law and procedure, I have been asked to comment in a general way on Mr. Robinson's effort at reforming Wisconsin law.

Reapportionment: Success Story Of The Warren Court, Robert B. Mckay

Michigan Law Review

The fascinating thing about this major engagement of the Warren Court is that the principal decisions came to the Court late-1962 and after. Although these decisions precipitated a revolution in the concept and practice of legislative representation at every level of government, they were implemented quickly and with surprisingly little dislocation. The following remarks are intended to report the fact of that adjustment and to explain, to the extent the phenomenon is now understandable, why the change was so easily accomplished. When compared with the delay in public acceptance of decisions in the other areas mentioned above, the success of …

The Warren Court And Criminal Procedure, A. Kenneth Pye

Michigan Law Review

On October 5, 1953, Earl Warren became Chief Justice of the United States. During the fifteen years of his tenure as Chief Justice, fundamental changes in criminal procedure have resulted· from decisions of what is popularly called "the Warren Court." There may be a legitimate difference of opinion whether these changes constitute a "criminal law revolution" or merely an orderly evolution toward the application of civilized standards to the trial of persons accused of crime. Whatever the characterization, however, there can be little doubt that the developments of the past fifteen years have unalterably changed the course of .the administration …

The Warren Court And The Political Process, William M. Beaney

Michigan Law Review

Our complex political system creates endless opportunity to debate the proper roles and powers of each of our principal political institutions. Students of the Supreme Court who quarrel over the proper role of the Court sometimes forget that the powers of the President and the proper place of Congress have also been subject to fierce controversy throughout our history, and that the political tension between the national government and the states has provided a persistent theme from the beginning of the Republic. It must never be forgotten that the system provided by the Framers was not designed to produce efficient …

Law And Order' On What Terms?, Francis A. Allen

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Statement by Dean Francis A. Allen before the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence, October 30, 1968, in Washington, D. C.

To the founders of the American republic, "domestic tranquility" is not only one of the fruits of constitutional government, but is essential for the preservation of constitutional government. The founders recognized that violence is the enemy of liberty, but also that liberty may be overcome by the efforts of state officials to suppress private violence. Because the founders were concerned both with liberty and order, they devoted great attention to the regulation and control of governmental …

The Administration Of Justice In The Wake Of The Detroit Civil Disorder Of July 1967, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Early Sunday morning, July 23, 1967, the Detroit Police Department raided a "blind pig" at the corner of Twelfth Street and Clairmont Street. An unexpectedly large number of patrons were present at the after-hours drinking establishment, and it took the police over an hour to remove them all from the scene. The weather was warm and humid-despite the time, many people were still on the streets. A crowd of about two hundred gathered while the police were occupied with the individuals arrested in the raid. The last of the arrestees were removed shortly after 5:00 a.m. At that moment an …

Crime, The Public, And The Crime Commission: A Critical Review Of The Challenge Of Crime In A Free Society, Warren Lehman

Michigan Law Review

What is the appropriate set for the mind when it mulls the report of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice? Should it be fine grind, as is the professor's when he asks a student in his first class in law school to state the case of Regina v. Dudley & Stephens? Or should the running wheel be raised from the bedstone, as is so often the case when the professor turns to review the work of a colleague? While the latter may have the appeal of habit, there are, I think, three important reasons …

Are The Scales Of Justice Evenly Balanced?, Yale Kamisar

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Remarks by Professor Yale Kamisar at a panel discussion of the Criminal Law Section of the American Bar Association, Honolulu, August 9, 1967

The topic for today seems to be a perennial favorite at meetings such as this one. Over the years, the question has often been asked in one form or another, and over the years the answer of almost all law enforcement officials and, I think, most members of the bench and bar, is the same - the scales are heavily, horribly, tilted in favor of the defendant. Only the names of the cases seem to change.

The Adversary Proceeding In The Year 2000, Maurice Rosenberg

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The object of this series is to explore the sciences that relate to law for the light that they may shed on the judicial function in time to come. To assess the impact of science and technology on law is at least a full day's work. It requires us to ask in what ways the power and knowledge of science threaten or challenge society now and in years ahead. It also requires us to ask how we can harness scientific knowledge and power for the law's needs today, and for needs as yet unknown.
