Wickersham Commission Offers Cautious View on Crime Causes
The Wickersham Commission presents a hazy generalization of its thinking on the flood of American crime. It shows wide differences among members and serves as a cross section of public opinion rather than a consensus. The report notes political corruption and crime’s ties to politics, highlighting weak alignment between law and order in major cities and suggesting that officers may be influenced or protected by criminals. It stops short of deeper causes and offers only a cautious pointer in the right direction.
