This article examines the effects of non-police governmental bureaucracies on police force in the U.S. Much has been written recently about the inadequacies of the so-called criminal justice system, this being the police, the prosecutive authority, the courts and the various correctional or rehabilitative facilities. Each component, since it is part of the very process of law, is sensitive to the dictates of regularity and the minuscule details of procedure. This deep concern with form is enforced both by the nature of bureaucracy and by the particular history of the Anglo-American legal system, which is great because it forged a procedural method which isolated issues and made resolution of specific cases possible.
