Inquiring Reporter on Lawlessness and Public Attitudes
The respondents offer mixed views on lawfulness in modern times. W Graham cites less respect for law among some groups but notes loyalty and patriotism waning. D R Rhynsberger says law defiance rises with new laws. John Wisse points to pervasive rules as population grows. H Lubbers sees more lawlessness now due to anti regulation sentiment. P H Van Gorp argues not more lawlessness, but more difficulty policing large cities. (Too late for last week.) Do farm women have as many responsibilities as 25 or 30 years ago.
