PDF File The Criminal Justice System and Crime Deterrence
Report 230, ( September 76 ) 47 pages

Prompted by research which indicates that persons who commit serious crimes in Michigan are not very likely to be apprehended, convicted or punished, the Citizens Research Council of Michigan, with a grant from National Bank of Detroit, requested several of the leading participants in the Michigan criminal justice system to address the question: What can be done to deter crime?

This report synopsizes the speeches of symposium speakers that included a representative of municipal government, a chief of police, a prosecuting attorney, a circuit court judge and a judge from Detroit Recorder's Court, the Director of the Michigan Department of Corrections, an attorney in private practice, a member of the Michigan House of Representatives, and noted criminal justice expert James Q. Wilson.

PDF File Consolidation of Police and Fire Services in the City of Grosse Pointe, Michigan
Report 250, ( July 76 ) 54 pages

The study examines the operations, services and costs of the existing police and fire departments and the feasibility of consolidating the two departments. The study does not address the efficiency or effectiveness of the personnel, equipment, operations or administration of the existing departments, except as improvements could be effected through consolidation. The report concludes that consolidation of police and fire services is feasible in the City of Grosse Pointe and that a consolidated department can provide improved police and fire services to the citizens of the community at a significant reduction in costs. The report details the proposed organization and staffing of a consolidated department and the methods and procedures to be followed in implementing consolidation.
