Two Views On The Federal Narcotics Law Problem: I - Suggestion To Facilitate Apprehension And Conviction Of Narcotic Law Violators, Sumner Canary Jan 1955

Two Views On The Federal Narcotics Law Problem: I - Suggestion To Facilitate Apprehension And Conviction Of Narcotic Law Violators, Sumner Canary

Cleveland State Law Review

There are three principal aspects to the enforcement of narcotic laws. They are: (1) the apprehension of the criminal; (2) the prosecution of the offender; and (3) the sentencing of a convicted offender. The United States Attorney is concerned primarily with the prosecution of cases which are prepared by other agencies and presented to him. For the most part, the prosecution of narcotic cases is relatively simple because there is little sympathy on the part of any juror for criminals of this type. Most narcotics come from foreign countries and come into the United States at seaports. Today most narcotics …

Criminal Law Administration Prior To Trial: Recent Constitutional Developments, Paul H. Sanders Jun 1951

Criminal Law Administration Prior To Trial: Recent Constitutional Developments, Paul H. Sanders

Vanderbilt Law Review

Probably the most pervasive dilemma in human experience is that which poses the choice with respect to the use of normally-condemned means in order to attain what are considered to be desirable ends. The field of criminal law administration offers a particularly apt illustration of the dilemma in modern society. The actual, day-to-day methods of operation of our law enforcement officers, prosecutors, judges and other officials concerned with the investigation, trial and punishment of those charged with crime,--all reflect the choice that has been made in fact by our society. We can each judge, within the limits of our experience, …

The Prevention Of Repeated Crime, John B. Waite Jan 1943

The Prevention Of Repeated Crime, John B. Waite

Michigan Legal Studies Series

Though this study is concerned fundamentally with the prevention of crime, it deals only with that part of the field wherein prevention of further crime is sought through treatment of known criminals. The whole field of crime prevention is, of course, much wider than that particular part. With a reasonable degree of logical distinction, it represents five major divisions of particularized interest. The first involves the question of what activities are to be considered as crimes and ought, as such; to be prevented. The second division assumes that a crime has been committed and covers the various activities by which …

Criminal Law And Procedure - Admissibility Of Confessions - Exhortations To Tell The Truth, Dan K. Cook Dec 1938

Criminal Law And Procedure - Admissibility Of Confessions - Exhortations To Tell The Truth, Dan K. Cook

Michigan Law Review

Defendant, while in the custody of police officers, confessed to the crime of murder. It was shown that the police officers during the course of defendant's examination, stated to the defendant that "it was better for him to tell the whole truth," and ''You are not telling the truth, give us the truth on this," "You might as well tell the truth; to me now," "I advise you to tell the truth in this case." In the subsequent prosecution of the defendant for murder, it was held that the confession was properly admissible notwithstanding these statements by the officers. Commonwealth …

Physicians And Surgeons-When Physician Obliged To Disclose Information Gained Through Doctor-Patient Relation Jun 1934

Physicians And Surgeons-When Physician Obliged To Disclose Information Gained Through Doctor-Patient Relation

Michigan Law Review

In April of this year a Minnesota physician, Dr. Clayton E. May, treated for gunshot wounds a certain undesirable person, John Dillinger, very much in demand by the police. He further neglected to inform the police concerning his ministrations, and as a result, was tried in a federal court on a charge of harboring a fugitive wanted under a federal warrant, found guilty, and sentenced to serve two years in a penitentiary and to pay a fine of $1,000. Said a prominent English medical journal in commenting on the case: " . . . colleagues in every country will applaud …


Constitutional Law - Federal Control Over Crime - Scope Of Power To Regulate Crime Under The Commerce Clause Jan 1934

Constitutional Law - Federal Control Over Crime - Scope Of Power To Regulate Crime Under The Commerce Clause

Michigan Law Review

The increase of criminal activities interstate in scope, and the growing dissatisfaction with state enforcement of local laws, have focused attention of late upon the power of Congress to regulate crime under the commerce clause of the Constitution. Outstanding among proposals for congressional legislation are the following: making interstate felonies federal offenses; punishing criminals who flee across state lines after committing a crime; and restricting the sale and transportation of firearms. Most, if not all, of this suggested legislation must rest on the commerce clause for its validity. We purpose here to discuss the nature and scope of this power, …


Criminal Law In Action- Carrying Concealed Weapons - Chicago Statistics, John Barker Waite Nov 1933

Criminal Law In Action- Carrying Concealed Weapons - Chicago Statistics, John Barker Waite

Michigan Law Review

Lawyers are beginning to recognize, though slowly, that enforcement and administration of law are affected more by the psychological conditioning and the character of its administrators than by the content of the law itself. This basis of difference is well demonstrated by some data of Chicago criminal court operations as compared with similar proceedings before Detroit judges.

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 …
