Report On The Child Offender In The Federal System Of Justice, Fred R. Johnson Nov 1931

Report On The Child Offender In The Federal System Of Justice, Fred R. Johnson

Michigan Law Review

The Report concerning child offenders in the federal system of justice is a joint report for the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement and the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection. The study on which the report is based was conducted by Dr. Miriam van Waters, for many years the referee of the Juvenile Court of Los Angeles. Her choice to direct this study is to be commended. Not only was she in intimate contact with children who were offenders in California, but her experience in varied capacities has made her familiar with juvenile delinquency and its …

Report On Prosecution, Rollin M. Perkins Nov 1931

Report On Prosecution, Rollin M. Perkins

Michigan Law Review

The logical starting point was the discovery and restatement of existing knowledge and information on these subjects, and because of the tremendous mass of material which has appeared in the form of surveys and reports within the last decade and a half, it was deemed wise to enlist the services of an expert in such matters. The analysis which he has produced, let it be added, amply justifies the Commission in his selection.

Report On The Cost Of Crime, Herbert F, Taggart Nov 1931

Report On The Cost Of Crime, Herbert F, Taggart

Michigan Law Review

The full title of the twelfth report of the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement is "Report on the Cost of Crime and Criminal Justice in the United States." A more descriptive title, suggested by the actual content of the report, would be "The Economic Consequences of Crime." The report constitutes a volume of 657 pages, of which the report proper covers 453 pages, and various appendices make up the balance. For the hasty reader the most essential parts are the first eight pages, constituting the Commission's comments, and the summary and recommendations, of Messrs. Goldthwaite H. Dorr and …

Report On Crime And The Foreign Born, Joseph Cohen Nov 1931

Report On Crime And The Foreign Born, Joseph Cohen

Michigan Law Review

That the foreign born, more than the native born, tend to run afoul of the law, especially with respect to the more serious offenses, is a popular doctrine which critical opinion in the field of criminology has long been inclined either to qualify as to essential details or to contradict in toto. Twenty years back the Federal Immigration Commission reported that all the evidence then available indicated a lesser criminality on the part of the immigrant group as a whole. Succeeding studies have supported this conclusion. That an adverse view of the foreign born should persist in the face of …

Report On The Enforcement Of The Prohibition Laws Of The United States, Albert E. Sawyer Nov 1931

Report On The Enforcement Of The Prohibition Laws Of The United States, Albert E. Sawyer

Michigan Law Review

An attempt will be made in this comment to state the important points in the Report, and to bring together the scattered references to the various groups of information contained in the third collection now being printed by the Senate and to outline very briefly in an appendix the principal relationships between this and the Commission's report. This last is offered in the hope that it may stimulate interest in a closer analysis of this mass of very useful information which might otherwise suffer neglect, not only because of its bulk, but also because of its lack of organization.

Succession By Murderer-Applicability Of Constructive Trust Apr 1931

Succession By Murderer-Applicability Of Constructive Trust

Michigan Law Review

There do not seem to have been any decided cases in the early common law on the question whether a murderer could succeed to the title to property left by his victim, or derive any benefit from his crime. By the civil law the legal title passed to the criminal, and was afterwards confiscated by the state. What may be said to be the modem rule is not so definitely determined, The numerical majority of cases, beginning with the first case to be decided on the exact question in 1888, have held that he could not succeed. But the decisions …

Crimes-Sentence-Suspension Of Execution Mar 1931

Crimes-Sentence-Suspension Of Execution

Michigan Law Review

The defendant pleaded guilty to an indictment for larceny. He was fined and sentenced to imprisonment for a period of thirty days. Both fine and sentence were conditionally suspended. At a subsequent term, the court, finding that the condition had been violated, ordered the execution of the sentence. Held, that although a court has no power to suspend the execution of a sentence, by making the conditional order of suspension the power later to enforce its judgment was lost. Ex parte Steinmetz (Ohio App. 1930) 172 N.E. 623.

Crimes-Mistake Of Facts Of A Defense Mar 1931

Crimes-Mistake Of Facts Of A Defense

Michigan Law Review

The defendant was convicted of bigamy under the usual statute (in this case, Fla. Comp, L., 1927, secs. 7559-7660) punishing as bigamous any person remarrying while the former spouse was still living, unless that spouse had been absent three years, the party remarrying not knowing the other to be alive during that time, or unless a legal divorce had been granted. The defense was, that as the defendant's first wife had told him and others that she had secured a divorce and had remarried, and had introduced to him her second husband, he honestly believed her. It was held, …

Evidence-Other Crimes

Michigan Law Review

Judging from the number of opinions handed down in 1930 involving evidence of other crimes committed by the defendant, the modem criminal trial is not complete without some attempt to introduce evidence of this sort.
