Description

Crime was a hot political item and received much attention in the 1970s. The Law Enforcement Assistance Administration formed by President Nixon was to be used as a tool to fight crime. The Special Crime Attack Team was created using a federal grant from LEAA to initially focus on burglary and robbery reduction but quickly evolved when it was discovered the crime problem was even bigger than first realized. This book only describes a small portion of what was done to stem the crime problem.
