Abstract
THIS IS THE THIRD IN A SERIES OF ARTICLES CALLING ATTENTION TO ASPECTS, PERSPECTIVES, AND COMPARATIVE DATA ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE TOTAL SYSTEM AND ITS COMPONENTS. IT TRACES COMPREHENSIVE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PLANNING FOR COORDINATION FROM PROPOSAL BY THE PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION ON LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN 1967 THROUGH DEVELOPMENT BY THE ADVISORY COMMISSION ON INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS (ACIR) IN 1971 AND THE NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMISSION ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE STANDARDS AND GOALS (NAC) IN 1973. THE TREND TOWARD FUNCTIONAL INTEGRATION OF GOVERNMENT SERVICES AND ITS EFFECT ON UNIFYING ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE FUNCTIONS ARE ALSO EXAMINED.
