Abstract

Law - and Law Enforcement
Yarros, Victor S. | July 17, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

Not a few liberals think, and say bluntly, that the whole investigation of law enforcement and law observance by a special national commission of the U.S. is a Babbittian-Pecksniffian enterprise bound to end in smoke, or, rather, in a few platitudinous and perfunctory exhortations to which no attention will be paid by any considerable group. This view is plausible, but not necessarily sound. Much will depend on the attitude and methods of the commission, or of those of its members who have moral courage, breadth, insight, and appreciation of the relation existing between lawmaking and the great forces that shape the life of states and civilizations.
