First edition of this very uncommon Progressive Era police department history issued to raise funds for the nascent pension fund for Dayton Ohio police officers in the first decade of the 20th Century. The Dayton Police Department was at the cutting edge during the Progressive Era not only hiring and incorporating African-Americans and Women into their police force but also one of the earliest in the U.S. to adopt the Bertillon System for criminal identification pre-dating fingerprint identifications by 15 years and in 1879 was one of the earliest to require photographs taken of all arrested “noted criminals and suspicious characters.†This work contains an excellent photograph of William Jenkins b. 1865 the first African-American hired by the Dayton OH police in 1898 and would continue serving with the city until 1917 when he was forced to retire after suffering serious injuries arresting four of six members of the notorious local “Alabama Gang†in November 1916. Renowned for running down suspects his left hand right hip and eye nerves were injured in the fight and after retirement became a security guard for National Cash Register. The second African-American was Ptl. Lucius Rice b. 1876 who had recently been appointed patrolman in 1909 after serving with Company C of the Ohio National Guard winning in 1908 the government medal for marksmanship rose to Sergeant in 1916 the first African-American to hold a supervisory rank and continued his career until killed in the line of duty after a 1939 shoot-out with a suspect. Of additional interest are the second and third Dayton OH police department employees Ida Van Skaik d. 1922 who served as jail matron onsite and traded off 12 hour shifts with the other Kate Allen who served until 1927 and was the first policewoman to receive a pension from Dayton OH.

Inscribed in the margin below the image "-- With best wishes / Edward Alsworth Ross." There is some light creasing to the margins of the photo with a few tiny stains to the bottom margin. Good. <p>Edward Alswoth Ross 1866-1951 was an American sociologist and eugenicist and a major figure in early criminology. Rather remarkably in his last twenty years he grew out of the disreputable views of his earlier life when he was a believer in eugenics and sterilization and opposed immigration to the point of suggesting that America would do better to turn its guns "upon every vessel bringing Japanese to our shores rather than to permit them to land". In the 1930s he was a supporter of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal program and from 1940 to 1950 he served as chairman of the national committee of the American Civil Liberties Union.

1996CY-1Boulder CO.: Westview Press 1996. Scholarly text presents a fascinating account of how illegal drugs are transported into and around the United States and throughout its neighborhoods. Criminologist and geographer George F. Rengert takes a unique approach to the problem of illegal drug distribution and U.S. drug markets. Using maps and charts to illustrate his findings Rengert applies spacial diffusion models to the illegal drug trade and explains why certain drugs are transported and found in different parts of the country. For example the highest concentration of marijuana plants is not on either coast but rather across the middle of the United Statesthroughout what is known as the corn belt. At the local level Rengert assesses the patterns and processes that interconnect drug sales and neighborhood deterioration and change.The book also addresses the important issues of how illegal drugs in this country operate on wholesale and retail levels and ways in which law enforcement at the federal state and local levels contend with this widespread problem. Using ethnographic material to provide real-life examples Rengert explores how drug dealers on the street expand spatially and predictably in their neighborhoods. He illustrates how this knowledge helps law enforcement in efforts to get these drugs off the streets. 147 pp. Illustrated. Dustjacket in mylar. First Edition. Hard Cover.

13800London England. 'Lecture to be delivered on Monday 15th August 1960 afternoon: hour to be fixed'. 19pp. foolscap 8vo. On ten leaves stapled together in one corner. In fair condition on aged and worn paper with staining from staple. He introduces his subject as follows in the first paragraph: 'I regard it as a great honour to have been invited by Professor Lopez-Rey on behalf of the Secretariat of the United Nations to address the Second United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders. The subject assigned to me is criminological and penological research a fascinating but intricate theme. I am honoured but also embarrassed for how can I be expected to say something new or important in so distinguished a company of experts from so many parts of the world I cannot but anticipate that much of what I have to say will appear to you self-evident or commonplace.' After providing an 'astounding list' of the 'sub-divisions' of criminology Razinowicz anounces that he deprecates 'those elaborate definitions and sub-divisions and the rather naive belief that clear-cut definitions can be provided' proposing instead the 'workmanlike description' given in the lecture. The only copy traced on either COPAC or OCLC WorldCat at Birmingham. The lecture was republished in a revised form in Radzinowicz's collection 'In Search of Criminology' Harvard 1962. This item derives from the papers of the English journalist George Bilainkin c.1903-1981.
