STATE OF MINNESOTA APPLICATION I'OR GRANT
�� GOV�RI�TOP'S COMMISSION ON CRIII�E page 5
.PREVENTION AND CONTROL
Project Plan and Supportii�g Data:
Midcvestern Educational Television, Inc. , requests a planning grant to finance
the study needed to propose an extended series o� educational television pro-
grams looking at the entire criminal justice system in the State of Minnesota
based on Che Governor's Commission on Crime Prevention and Control Report of
� January 30, 1969. Such planning would be done with the Criminal Justice Ad-
vi.sory Commission in Region G. •
'Phe President's Crime Commission Report stated, "No single formula, no single_
theory, no single generalization can explain the vast range of behavior called
crime. . .for crime is not a single, simple phenomenon that can be examined,
analyzed and described in one piece. Tt occ�rs in every part of the country
and in every stratum of society. Its practi.tioners and its victims are people
of all ages, incomes and backgrounds. Its trencls are difficult to ascertain,
too. Its causes are legion. Its cures are speculative and controversial. An
examination of any single kind of crime, let alone crime i.n America raises a
myriad of issues of the utmost complexity."
In a special message to the 66th session of the legislature delivered
February 27, 1969, Governor Harold LeVander noted that for the first six months �
/�,.� of 1968 the incidence of crime in Minnesota increased at a greater rate than
t =� naf�innal f�n,�r�� ;n a11 raYegnries except manslaughter and assault. .
�:.�� � .
Again quoting from the Governor's legislative message, "When we vi_ew crime, we
must learn to look �aith new eyes; we must learn to ask new questions as well as
to seek ne�a answers. As we s�rive for success, old ideas and old approaches
can be as much our adversaries as the for_ces of crime themselves. Corrections,
courts and police can no longer be viewed as separaLe entities; as tYiings unto
� themselves. They are, they must be, part oi' a unified comprehensive fron�
against crime. Success in one system means success for the others. Fail.ure in
one means greater burdens on the others." �
The Governor establishedt�ie Commission on Law Enforcement, Administration of
Justice, Corrections and Preventian in 1967. The Coi�unissi.on's four task forces,
chaired by the Attorney General, Douglas Head, ha.ve involved more than 100 key
official.s and leading citizens and have completed initial study reports on the
various parts of the criminal justice system in rlinnesota.
Each of the £our task forces have made their recommendations. rluch work remains
to be done to evaluate these recommendations as part of the design of a total
riinnesota law enforcemenr system, to establish priorities, and to develop de-
tai.led plans for i.mplernentation. The recommendations of the four task forces on
law enforcement, administration of justice, corrections and prevention, are the
solid foundation on which an integrated approach to law enforcement will be
built.
� 1he President`s Crime Commission stated that "The poor are arrested more often,
convicted m�re frequenrly, sentenced more harstily, rehabili.tated Iess success-
(Continued on �age Six)
. . - . • • � p . � • .
..: .- - ' . � , . -6- • .
fu11y than the, rest of society. We can ease tlie burdens of poverty by assuring
�he poor of these basic procedural rights which our society ostensibly grants all
citizens: the right to be represei:ted by competent counsel early enough in the
process to preserve their rights; Clie right to prepare an adequate defense; the
right to be free until convic�ed; the right not to be jailed solely because of
• lack of money to remit a fine or malce restitution; the right to parole; the r.i.ght
� to a clean start after prison. In withholding these fundamentals from any ci�izen,
society reveals a poverty of its own."
Can it be doubted that the court is the most frequent contact between the poor and
the "establishment." In the Governor's special message to the 66th session of the
. legislature he made some major recoimnendations. Other agencies have al.so followed
in endorsing these recommendations. Basically, they are as follo�as:-
- 1) Establish a separate secure treatment facility for older aggressive -
delinquents whose criminal careers are reinforced by the stiate's in-
ability to hold them for treatment. The majority of these are from
the core city. .
2) Continue and expand the institution-community continuum programs of
intensive treatment in �he neighborhoods of delinquent boys and girls.
These will be developed in the inner city areas.
3) E�pand the work release program for institutionalized felons. This
is especially helpful to the prospective parolee who has had few good
� � work experience�. •
41 i)�v�inn a communirv corrections center tiU �iSSl�f: WUTk. idi6u�c5 duu �.11VJ4
� ' � parolees and probationers who need emergency help and specialized serv-
ices. Most of the persons needing this help live in the inner city.
5) Develop aclequate treatment programs for misdemeanants. Inner city
residents appear as misdemeanants well out of proportion to their
numbers in the general population. - ,
6) Expand vocational training in state correctional institutions so that
inmates will have marketable skills upon release. Most irunates are
unskilled and this leads to chronic unemployment.
7) Expand foster family group homes. Most of the youngsters who need foster
family care are from disadvantaged homes. �
8) Develop a raore adequate riinnesota youth vocatiorial center that could
provide vocational training for delinquents who could benefiC from such
a program. Surveys indicate that most of these youngsters come from
and will return to the core ci.ty.
9) Develop exper.imenral programs of treatment for narcotic addicts and
alcoholics. Such treatment programs would involve a considerable
number of poor and minority groups.
- 10) Establish separate detention facilities for juveniles to be planned
on a regional basis and subsidi.zed by tYiesrate. '
• , .� • .r� • � • . . � , ,��� '. . , + . • , �
11) Impr.oee the trea�ment of sex offenders and malce such treatment mandatory.
Such crimes tend to range across all economic groups. �
12) Develop in-service training programs for correctional personnel. The}� would t
thus be better equipped and sensitized to handle the unique problems of the �
� poor and minorities. • �
13) Replace the current part-time parole coimnissions with a single, full-time �
carefully-selected commission. Such well-trained and highly-slcilled persons
could be e�pected to be more sensitive to the needs of the minorities and {
the poor. �
14) Up-grade training for law enforcement personn�l by: �
a) Providi.ng a police training academy at the state level; �
" b) Increasing mandatory training to include police of£icers from
all juristictions; i
c) Begin a police science degree program at the Uni.versity �
of Minnesota. �
, �
15) Improve the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehe�lsion by: �
a) Sncreasing its staff, training and facilities; �
• b) Leasing a computer system for law enforcement use; �
c) Establish an intelligence unit to fight organized crime. �
. The disadvantaged person, especially in �the inner city �
� is far more vulnerable to organized crime �Chan any other . '�--
group in our society. � :

17) Establish more effective police-cortununity relations programs. The relati.onship
K_� 'n
of the police to inner city residents is a central issue in our day.
18) Develop policies relative to civil disturbances, the rights and limits of :
lawful protest, and the recruitment of minority �persons into law enforcement. �
. Such policies need constant examination and affect minorities and poor more �
than other groups. �
t
• l
19) De-emphasize veterans ' preference for police and build a single retirement �
�
system for police throughout the state. Maximum use of skills would thus - �
be facilitated. � t
;
20) Abolish justices of the peace and replace part-time municipal courts by �
full-time coun�y clerks. This would elimina�e some of �he discrimination '
against those without counsel or thooe from minority groups.
21) Stucly and reconunend revised uniform rules of- cri.minal procedure for adult
�ffenders. This would help eliminate inconsistent practices felt mainly by
poor and minority groups.
Such a series of programs could potentially be of use for training o£ la�a
enforcement personnel as well as perhaps recruitment in the entire criminal justic� ._ '
fiel.d, A subsidiary benefit of such a series of programs certainl.y would be the
increased education of the. public in general. ,

It is proposed that we work within the,seven-county metropoli.tan area
containing boCh Plinneapolis and St . Paul. It has been estimated that as high
as 75 per cent of the crime does 'occur in thi.s particular sever�-county area.
However, as the area does encompass both Minneapolis and Saint Paul as well as
, a number of rural communities it is £elt that by working within the seven-county
area we could show the difference in the criminal justice system in the metro-
politan area from that in the more rural communities in Minnesota.
Some of the subjects surely to be covered in such a series of programs would
be as follows : -
� 1) Is there organized crime in the seven-county metropolitan area?
2) Are juvenile offenders treated differently in the city than in
� the rural area? . -
� 3) Jail facilities in the metropolitan community as opposed to those
in the rural communities.
4) How are juvenile of�enders actually treated? Are there separate
facilities? Of all of the hundreds of persons going into the head
end of the criminal justice system, how many actually end up incar-
� cerated? jdhat happens to the rest of them? .
. � 5) The treatment of the minority in the criminal justice system. I.e. ,
can a Black, arrested by a white, sentenced by a white, incarcerated '
by a white and guarded by a white, be helped by a white social worker
- _ or anv oti7er white:
. 6) Show what police training is now and what it ought to be.
7) Why the need for a police academy?
8) The entire area of gun control� -- what ther� is noiu and what there -
should be.
9) The narcotics unit as it is and what it should be.
10) Why a need for lower court reorganization? What is the organization
now and what is wrong with it?
11) The la�os for juveniles now -- what should they be?
12) The whole area of corrections: work release, regional juvenile detention
centers, more intensive treatment of juveni_les, more specialized treat-
• ment of alcohol and narcotic addicts and sex offenders, more compre-
' hensive use of conununity-based treatment and improved rehabilitative
service in the institutions.
13) It could be shown what the average day o� a small to�m chief of police
is like as opposed to that of a large city. Al.so the life of a small
town policeman as opposed to the average cop i.n the city.

� The foregoing are but a few suggestions as to what such a potential series
,of television programs could contain.
� So thar an excellet�t series o'f programs could be produced we would propose
to �vork with the Criminal Justice Advisory Committee in Region G to establish
guidelines as to what particular elements should go into a later series of pro-
grams. It makes good sense to bri.ng together those in various disciplines and
allow them adequate time to decide what should ultimately go into such a series.
As an addition we would propos� to produce one program out of the series to
actually show what coul.d be done. Therefore, we sincerely urge your office to
grant the funds needed for the purpose of planning an e�tended series of programs
which could be beneficial to law enforcement people throughout the State of
Minnesota as well as the general population. . '
