Law Enforcement, Arthur J. Garskay

Bachelors’ Theses

In many circles today, law enforcement is looked upon as a panacea for the present condition of lawlessness. Our political parties carry law enforcement planks in their platforms. The party in power seeks to carry out its pledge of remedying the evil. President Hoover appoints a Law Enforcement Commission and tells them that they are to deal with the dominant issue before the American people. He calls that issue "enforcement and obedience to the laws of the United States, both Federal and State".

Having settled our definitions the issue will be clearly defined and its discussion possibly profitable.
