This is the first comprehensive account of President Herbert
Hoover's policies to reform federal criminal justice
administration. Beginning with the first words in his inaugural
address, Hoover informed the public that a high priority of his
administration would be to insist upon reorganization, qualitative
improvement, new efficiencies, and formal study of justice system
organizations in the federal system. Calder examines Hoover's
background and affinity for justice system reform, the campaign
trail and crime control issues of 1928 and 1929, intellectual and
practitioner resources, the Wickersham Commission, and the reforms
of the federal law enforcement, court, and prison systems. Drawing
upon extensive primary source collections, this book provides a
thorough examination of the Hoover initiatives and assesses their
impact on later federal policy. It will be of considerable interest
to political scientists, social historians, and those involved in
criminal justice programs.
