Loesch, director of the crime investigation in Chicago. Mr. Loesch emphasized the import- ance of educating citizens to know the law and therefore to understand better the reasons for any failure of law en- forcement. "When the citizens of Chicago know as much about the practical details of law enforcement as they know about business or golf," he said, "the .crime problem will be as nearly solved as is humanly possible." "When the ordinary citizen comes to an intelligent knowledge of the reasons for failure of law enforcement and the persons responsible there will be a re- duction in crime," he continued. Honest public officials deserve the inquiries.

"The many officials who do their work honestly and faith- fully are entitled to public support based 'on the knowledge of the situ- ation. Efficient public service cannot be secured by alternating neglect with indignation," he said. The chief crime investigator then stated that the Chicago Crime com- mission has already pointed out why there is too much crime in Chicago and that it would continue to do this in the form of special bulletins in- viting attention to such evils in the administration of criminal justice as demand correction. Following are some of the reasons given by Mr. Loesch for the cause of the so-called "crime wave" in Chicago: Note Causes of Crime Wave Criminal court--Undue leniency to persons charged with crime, granting of too many continuances, lack of proper decorum in the courts, numer- ous excuses granted to qualified jurors for personal or political reasons, short hours. State's attorney--Incompetent prose- cutors, poor preparation of cases, will- ingness to bargain with persons charged with crimes, agreement: to unjustified continuances, agreement to unjustified probations, failure to investigate and prosecute election and other frauds. Sheriff --Poor subpoena service re- sulting in numerous witnesses not be- ing notified, deputies who because of political affiliations take undue interest in defendants. Police department--Ilack of properly trained members resulting in poor preparation of cases, insufficient num- ber of patrolmen and detectives, poli- tical control of department. Municipal court--Lack of orderly procedure, numerous continuances, in- sufficient or no investigation of bond schedules, haphazard court records, toleration of bond runners within the courtrooms. Legislation needed--Citizens sum- moned for jury service should be per- mitted to choose the time of year best suited for them, anti-gun law with teeth, jurors should not be judges of the law, trial procedure should be sim- plified. Citizen--He should not dodge jury service, he should not be willing to drop prosecution when restitution is made or offered, he should not toler- ate public officials remiss in their du- ties, he should vote at each election and vote intelligently. General--Too much leniency to per- sons charged with crimes, too little consideration for victims of the crim- inals.
