Abstract
THIS REPORT EMBODIES THE MAJOR FINDINGS DRAWN FROM EXAMINATION OF CRIME THROUGHOUT THE STATE -- IN THE COUNTY, THE VILLAGE, AND THE CITY. IN THE BROAD PERSPECTIVE IT DEALS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, DELINQUENCY, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, CORRECTIONS, AND THE COMMUNITY. THE COMMITTEE HAS NOT ONLY IDENTIFIED THE MAJOR PROBLEMS IN EACH AREA AND DEVELOPED SUGGESTED ANSWERS, BUT IT HAS ESTABLISHED PRIORITIES UNDER WHICH IT BELIEVES THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD BE MET. SPECIFIC CHAPTERS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED CONCERNING IMPLEMENTED PROGRAMS AND PROPOSALS FOR WHICH FUNDS ARE BEING SOUGHT. THESE PROGRAMS ARE TAGGED WITH HIGH PRIORITY. NO EFFORT WAS MADE BY THE COMMITTEE TO DEAL WITH SPECIAL CAUSES OF CRIME WITHIN THE STATE.
