Local Residents To Express Their Views On Crime Control
oilmens oi mecKienourg
County will have an opportu
nity to suggest changes in the
state's criminal laws and
improvements in the criminal
justice system at a Governor's
Conference on Crime Control
to be held in Charlotte on
Thursday, July 6. The public
hearing, to be held in the First
Union National Bank Audito
rium on South Tryon Street at
9 a m., is the first of thirty
seven such hearings previous
ly announced by Governor
Jim Hunt to be held through
out the state.
H inUh^d«i^wt^^creh^
ary oi crime Control and
Public Safety J. Phil Carlton
to preside over the hearings
and both officials are hoping
that many Mecklenburg resi
dents will attend the July 6
hearings to voice their
opinions.
The primary purpose of the
hearings, according to Carl
ton, is to give citizens an
opportunity to lend their ad
vice and suggestions on ways
to reduce and control crime ir.
North Carolina. “This is not
one of those opportunities for
those of us in Raleigh to come
and make speeches^’ Carlton,
said. "We will come to listen
to any suggestion anyone
wants to make about ways and
means to fight crime in North
Carolina. We are particularly
interested in suggestions on
strengthening our criminn'
laws and improving our law
enforcement,. court an
•orrectional systems."
The suggestions made by
citizens will be evaluated for
possible inclusion in upcoming
crime control legislation.
“We "'■will evaluate any
suggestions received as we
! attempt to prepare a package
of legislative proposals to be
submitted by Governor Hunt
to the 1979 General Assem
bly," Carlton said.
Carlton noted that while
such public officials as judges,
district attorneys, and law
enforcement officers have
been invited to the hearings,
he is particularly interested in
hearing from private citizens.
Said Carlton, "This is one of
those areas where the average
citizen is very likely to have a
good idea. It’s the average
citizen who lives in the com
munities where crimes are
being committed every day,
jjnd^je^knowjvhaUhej^ant^
us to do about it. That’s what -
w« want to hear." -
The Crime Control and Pub
lic Safety staff has attempted
to allocate sufficient time at
each hearing site for interest
ed citizens to be heard.
Carlton pointed out, however,
that it would be helpful if those
wishing to speak would write
to him at Post Office Box 27687
in Raleigh, N.C., 27611, and
indicate the topic area and
approximate length of their
presentation.
Carlton added, "I look for
ward to being in the area and
to hearing what people have to
say. about coatrolling crime,
if a an unusual opportunity,
and I hope many will take
advantage of it. We will
consider every suggestion
received and see if it will fit
into the legislative proposals
to be sent to the General
Assembly."
Governor Hunt is expected
to attend several of the hear
ings which will continue
throughout the summer and
early fall ending in Raleigh on
October. 19. _.
