197121111Berkeley and San Francisco: Western Star Press 1971. Softcover. Very good. Trade paperback 81 pp. Light handling wear; very good. Describes the research and conclusions of a two-year grant-funded study of the SFPD that found numerous systemic problems. The Introduction lays out the broad and familiar issue quite well: "The claim is heard that police action has become a weapon by which minority groups are oppressed and persecuted and that police action is often used for political rather than legitimate law enforcement purposes. This belief justified or unjustified has become a barrier to effective police work. The police feel themselves isolated and set apart from the rest of the community.Only when a police officer is regarded and can regard himself as just another civilian doing an important and necessary job a part of the community rather than apart from it can the police department operate at its best and the community receive the greatest service." The Committee's recommendations include significant changes to recruitment and training procedures supervision patrol methods weapons use and training written policies and directives procedures for personnel management and discipline and more. Noting that "previous reports on the San Francisco Police Department have traditionally gathered dust on the shelves" and efforts at change have been viewed with suspicion as "still another attack on law enforcement" the authors plead for the report to be taken as constructive criticism offered "in the hope of making the San Francisco Police Department an enviable and progressive model of what police should be.

Some chips in cloth at spine front board just holding on moderate foxing throughout. Small label "Coll. Immac. Conc. S.J." on front pastedown. A scarce account by the last man jailed in the United States for blashemy. Abner Kneeland 1774-1844 was a former Universalist minister who became a popular freethinker and reformer in the 1830s. He lectured widely and founded and edited the Boston Investigator a weekly social-reform journal that advocated public schools equality regardless of race or sex a better life for working people and the abolition of slavery and imprisonment for debt. After stating in print that he did not believe in God Kneeland was indicted for blasphemy in 1833 under a Massachusetts law enacted in 1782. He nedured multiple trials resulting in hung juries but was finally convicted in 1838 and--despite vocal support from Ralph Waldo Emerson William Ellery Channing William Lloyd Garrison Bronson Alcott and other leading reformers--jailed for two months. Here he offers an account of his prosecution as well as a vigorous defense of free thought. Sabin 38091. George A. Chapman hardcover books
