AS THE PRIME FUNCTION OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IS THE PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY, THE PROGRAM EMPHASIZES THE NEED TO REDUCE VIOLENT AND PREDATORY CRIME. THE POLICE AND COURTS MUST BE UNBURDENED BY VICTIMLESS CRIME TO PURSUE MORE SERIOUS MATTERS. A FEDERAL GUN CONTROL POLICY HAS HIGH PRIORITY IN THE RECOMMENDED CRIME PREVENTION STRATEGY. THE PRESENT LAWS DEALING WITH ADDICTIVE DRUGS ARE SEEN TO BE CRIMINOGENIC, AND AN ALTERNATIVE DRUG POLICY IS OUTLINED. THE POLICE FUNCTION MUST BE REORGANIZED TO REDUCE THE SCOPE OF DUTIES. THE POLICE OFFICER IS SO LADEN WITH ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES AND COMMUNITY SERVICES THAT HE IS UNABLE TO DEVOTE A SIZABLE PORTION OF HIS TIME TO CRIME PREVENTION. A FORMALIZATION OF PLEA BARGAINING AND UNIFORMITY OF SENTENCING ARE RECOMMENDED TO EXPEDITE THE JUDICIAL PROCESS. INCREASED REHABILITATIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRISONERS AND A FEDERAL VICTIM COMPENSATION PROGRAM ARE ALSO SUGGESTED....MSP
