FROM THE PREFACE: Prediction has always been an important topic in criminology. • Prediction instruments have been used extensively to aid criminal justice decisionmakers, most notably in selecting prisoners for parole. Current uses of prediction methods include the identification of offenders for a policy of "selective incapacitation" and the identifiction of dangerous offenders. Prediction methods are also used to evaluate different kinds of penal treatments and to assess the likely effects of penal policy changes on the criminal justice system. As a by-product of this substantive research, a good deal of attention has been paid to the statistical and methodological issues involved in constructing sound prediction instruments.

FROM THE COVER: “Law And The Modern Mind appeared in 1930 and, in the words of Judge Charles E. Clark, it "fell like a bomb on the legal world." In the generation since, its influence has grown rather than diminished, until today it isaccepted as aclassic of general jurisprudence. The work is a bold and persuasive attack on the delusion that The Law is a bastion of predic- table and logical action. Judge Frank's controversial thesis is that the decisions made by judge and jury are determined to an enormous extent by powerful, concealed, and highly idiosyncratic psychological prejudices that these arbiters bring to the courtroom. He points out that all legal verdicts result from the application of known legal rules to the facts of the suit-a procedure that sounds utterly methodical and uncapricious. But, Judge Frank argues, because profound, immeasurable biases will strongly influence the judge and jury's reaction to a witness, lawyer, or litigant, we can never know what they will believe "the facts of the suit" to be.”

From the Foreword: “How have governments dealt with persons convicted of crimes? How should this change? Answers to these questions are offered here in describing and assessing the career of Richard A. McGee (1897-1983), who was one of the most successful promoters of ways to control crime, yet alwaysdissatisfied with what he achieved. McGee's work in corrections began in 1931 as director of education in a federal prison. From 1935 to 1941 he supervised New York City penal facilities, then headed the Department of Public Institutions for the state of Washington, and from 1944 until his retirement in 1967, he directed California's state correctional programs. Throughout his years in justice agencies, and in retirement, McGee published extensively, and had numerous national and international offices and honors. This book draws much from his lucid writings.”

From the Introduction: “In the most simplistic terms, there are three main structuralcomponentsofthe justice system in the United States: law enforcement, courts, and corrections (both institutional and community-based). Additionally, there are other structuralelements thatcomprise the system, such as victim service agencies and a related but mainly separate juvenile justice system. Thousands of agencies at the local, county, state, and federal levels of government, as well as in the private sector, join together to form the framework of the American criminal justice system. In most respects, the numerous agencies function as a system, a unified whole. But fragmentation and conflict are also commonplace, causing some critics to hold that it is not a system at all…”
