The National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice: Annual Report FY 1977.
Ewing, Blair G.
This fourth annual report of the National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice summarizes its programs and funding for research, evaluation, and research utilization for fiscal year 1977. Chapter 1 describes research agreements with various organizations to study the subjects of the habitual offender, white-collar crime, the economics of criminal justice, and the relationship between unemployment and crime. In chapters 2-5 major research projects are discussed by topic: community crime prevention emphasizing the role of the citizen; the police force; streamlining the court system; and corrections. Evaluation programs that were either funded or completed in 1977 are discussed in chapter 6. Handbooks developed from exemplary projects, field tests conducted, workshops held, and ways of disseminating and using findings are listed in chapter 7 as part of the research utilization program. Dealing with special projects, chapter 8 gives the names of researchers working at the Institute as visiting fellows, five unsolicited research projects that were funded, a long-range agenda, and scholarly books published in 1977 that resulted from the visiting fellowship program. Four appendixes are included: (1) an organization chart of the Institute; (2) the distribution of financial award by subject; (3) a listing of the advisory committee; and (4) the names of the staff.
