The Lansing survey asked residents how they would prioritize specific crimes, where they felt the police should concentrate investigative efforts, which community-oriented police services deserved the highest priority, what role citizens should play in assisting police, and how they would rank five activities within the LPD. Residents were also asked if they would be willing to vote for a tax increase to maintain a foot patrol program. The 2-page questionnaire was mailed to 5,462 residents and completed by 2,328 individuals, a 47-percent response rate. The booklet first reviews typical community surveys which usually ask citizens to rate police performance. Highlights of the Lansing survey show that residents ranked burglary and robbery as deserving the most police attention, were more concerned about crimes that hurt people rather than property, and were particularly sensitive to needs of the elderly and young children. Residents also demonstrated a high commitment to participating directly in efforts to combat crime. Almost half were willing to support a tax increase for foot patrols. Survey questionnaire, press release, and 33 footnotes.\

What makes some communes work, while others fail? Why is it so difficult to put utopian ideals into practice? In this exciting study of the success or failure of nineteenth-century American Utopias and twentieth-century communes, Rosabeth Moss Kanter combines the results of her first-hand experiences in a variety of contemporary groups with her thorough research on earlier Utopian communities. Convinced that the Utopias of the past offer important models for social organization today, the author also stresses the need for a historical perspective in viewing contemporary movements. Kanter analyzes the ideas and values expressed and developed in communal living, she explores the methods of organization that led to commitment and success or failure in the nineteenth-century, and she deals with the dilemmas and problems that contemporary communities present. The final chapters of this brilliant study, a discussion of contemporary communes, allows the reader to see the similarities as well as the differences between nineteenth and twentieth-century communities.

Much of the work of preparing this book for publication was centered around making a representative selection from the clinical lectures given at Chestnut Lodge. There were over a million words in these 246 lecture-discussions, given over the period from October 1942 to April 1946. Only about 130,000 words have been included in this book, mostly material contained in lectures given between April and November 1943. The first 49 lectures cover, in general, the developmental approach to mental disorder and the psychiatric interview. The lectures from 100 through 246 include many brilliant discussions of particular problems in therapy, often growing out of actual clinical problems presented by the group. Within the main block of lectures making up this book--50 through 99--the major omissions have been part of the discussion of hysteria and the lectures on psychosomatic disorders.

Responding to the controversy surrounding drug use and drug criminalization, Thomas Szasz suggests that the "therapeutic state" has overstepped its bounds in labeling certain drugs as "dangerous" substances and incarcerating drug "addicts" in order to cure them. Szasz shows that such policies scapegoat certain drugs as well as the persons who sell, buy, or use them; and 'misleadingly pathologize the "drug problem" by defining disapproved drug use as "disease" and efforts to change the behavior as "treatment." Readers will find in Szasz's arguments a cogent and committed response to a worldwide debate.
