Report On The Enforcement Of The Prohibition Laws Of The United States, Albert E. Sawyer
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.
Report On Prosecution, Rollin M. Perkins
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 Lawlessness In Law Enforcement, John Barker Waite
Report On Lawlessness In Law Enforcement, John Barker Waite
Michigan Law Review
The first part of this Report offers taxpayers little return on their investment. All it even purports to do is to inform the public that the police throughout the country sometimes use intolerable, brutal methods to extract information concerning crime and occasionally keep arrested persons out of communication with lawyers and friends until they can be questioned at length. But of these facts the public was already convinced through newspaper and magazine. Indeed, the Report itself uses the widespread public knowledge of the evil as evidence of its existence. Yet, beyond this repetition of already accepted beliefs, the Report really …
Report On Criminal Statistics, Lent D. Upson
Report On Criminal Statistics, Lent D. Upson
Michigan Law Review
Among the reports of the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement, probably none received so little public attention as that on criminal statistics. Statistics, even of the criminal variety, are dull at the best, and not calculated to whet the imagination. One murder may be the basis of a printed volume of gory details and misleading clues with everybody suspected from the parish curate to the author himself. But murders by the gross or bale leave all unmoved except the most hardened editorial commentator.
Report On The Cost Of Crime, Herbert F, Taggart
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 The Enforcement Of The Deportation Laws Of The United States, E. Blythe Stason
Report On The Enforcement Of The Deportation Laws Of The United States, E. Blythe Stason
Michigan Law Review
This report is concurred in by nine of the eleven members of the Commission. Two members, Henry W. Anderson and Kenneth Mackintosh, file dissenting statements. The Report is accompanied by a thoroughly interesting research study of the administration of the deportation laws, prepared by Reuben Oppenheimer. Since this study constitutes the basis of the report, and since the majority of the Commission concur in the conclusions and recommendations set forth in it, the following remarks will deal primarily with the study itself.
Report On Penal Institutions, Probation, And Parole, Arthur Evans Wood
Report On Penal Institutions, Probation, And Parole, Arthur Evans Wood
Michigan Law Review
This Report consists of three main parts. The first is called the Commission's Report, and is signed by that body. The second, called the Report of the Advisory Committee to the Commission, is the work of a group which includes many of the most distinguished penologists of the country. The two reports cover much the same ground, they are about the same length, and, with one or two important exceptions, the recommendations and conclusions are the same. The third part is a brief statement entitled Police Jails and Village Lockups, prepared and written by Dr. Hastings H. Hart.
Report On Police, John Barker Waite
Report On Police, John Barker Waite
Michigan Law Review
The Report begins: "The general failure of the police to detect and arrest criminals . . . has caused a loss of public confidence in the police of our country. For a condition so general there must be some universal underlying causes to account for it."

Constitutional Law-Due Process-Police Power-Junk Yards
Michigan Law Review
The City of Ashland, Kentucky, acting under a specific power to license and regulate junk yards granted to it by the legislature under section 3058-2 Ky. Stat. (Carroll, 1922) passed an ordinance requiring applicants for licenses to operate junk yards within the city of Ashland. "to make and execute with the Clerk of the City of Ashland, Kentucky, a permit signed by the applicant providing that the Police Department * * * may inspect and search the said shop or place of business." The appellant complied with all other requirements, but refused to execute the permit: Because the clerk would …
Searches And Seizures-Right To Search A House As Incident To Lawful Arrest
Searches And Seizures-Right To Search A House As Incident To Lawful Arrest
Michigan Law Review
On a reasonable belief that the prohibition law was being violated, officers entered Marcucci's basement and arrested Marcucci and the other men present. On the table, when the officers entered, were several gallon jugs of wine, and several of the men were intoxicated. Observing that the door at the end of the passageway leading from the room was open, one of the officers investigated and found in the sub-cellar twenty-five barrels of wine. Also, noting a locked door in the sub-cellar, the officer requested the key of Marcucci who at first denied possession but finally produced it. In the closet …

Constitutional Law-Due Process-Reasonableness Of Police Regulation
Michigan Law Review
The New York Agriculture and Markets Law, (Cons. Law, c. 69), sec. 252, 253, required an annual license of all persons or corporations gathering milk from producers for manufacture or resale. This was to be issued only upon execution of a bond for at least $2,000, conditioned upon the compliance with this law and the prompt payment to producers for milk or cream bought by the gatherer. The commission, however, could by formal order relieve the gatherer from having to file this bond if satisfied as to the gather's solvency and probable ability to pay for milk purchased. In case …
Some Inadequacies In The Law Of Arrest, John Barker Waite
Some Inadequacies In The Law Of Arrest, John Barker Waite
Michigan Law Review
Suppose that a farmer whose orchard borders the highway happens on the spot in time to see a truck, with the license tag of a foreign state, conveniently parked while the driver loads it with apples which he picks from the farmer's trees. What can the farmer-owner do in respect to the situation?
