Excerpt from Uniform Crime Reports for the United States, 1962 To the casual observer it may appear that law enforcement efforts to control crime are of little avail in the face Of rising crime rates. Actually, the record shows police effectiveness remains high despite mounting crime workloads and heavier demands for a wide variety of increasingly complex police services. On the other hand, law enforce ment machinery is impaired and policing is hampered as a result Of the increasing restrictions being placed on enforcement Operations. Of vital consideration is the fact that a community's crime rate is primarily the product Of its inhabitants - the victims as well as the perpetrators Of crime. Law enforcement through its records statisti cally reports on local crime conditions as a part of its community responsibility. It should be kept in mind, however, that police efforts to control crime are limited to: prevention by exposing the nature of crime, principally the effect of contributing community factors; sup pression through properly oriented and alert patrol activity; and de terrence through successful investigation and apprehension Of the offender. The effectiveness of each of these depends to some extent on the action of the courts and the success Of the correctional process, but most of all on the degree to which the local citizenry support law enforcement. Positive action to reduce crime must begin with the individual citizen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
