Cooperation Of All ,
; Citizens Is Essential
For Curbing Crime
If we are to achieve progress in
. the national movement against crime,
; says Homer S. Cummings, Attorney
General of the United States, in the
Kotarian Magazine," the cooperation
of the ' community is essential. Its
role is quite as important, and its
responsibility as great, as that of
the Federal, State or local govern
ments in coping, with the seriousness
of this menace to society.
"Without the intelligent coopera
tion of all citizens, without commun-
y y support and interest," he urges,
no people can achieve a control over
crime. In the , United States, crime
control must necessarily' depend "as
much on the county sheriff and the
local law enforcement officers, as
, upon the Federal agents and the po
' lice forces of the cities. More vit
ally, it is to an enlightened public
opinion to which" we must look for
the cure of the causes of crime as
well as the apprehension of the crim
inal. "The roots of crime reach out into
the community," Mr. Cummings
continues, "... whether it be city
or hamlet in which the criminal first
embarks on his career. It is here,
therefore, that the initial opportunity
lies for prevention. The betterment
of schools, the elimination of slums,
the improvement of working condi
tions and of homes rthese and other
ocial advances all help' to remove
crime breeding environments, and
thus the number of recruits for the
crime army of tomorrow.
"Important, too, is a better coordi
nation between local police authori
ties and citizens. ' ' Public support in
J full measure is needed, if th work
!4f law enforcement officers is to be
vsriectlve. The citizens in each com
munity must understand the ' work
and problems of the law enforcement
officers, and they need tn be kept in-

doing.
"It is essential also that the pub
lic insist that the law enforcement
agencies be staffed with the best
possible personnel. Security of jobs
is desirable, in order to maintain a
m$timum efficiency. Other factors
making for more efficient personnel
are adequate salaries, freedom from
political interference, and high pro
fessional standards of training" for
all."
