Abstract:

Records documenting a 1956-1957 American Bar Foundation (ABF)-funded field study of the criminal justice system under the direction of Frank Remington and conducted in Kansas, Michigan, and Wisconsin. As charged by the ABF, the project was to study the "total criminal justice process, from the time a crime is committed until an offender receives his final release from parole supervision." The records include field reports for each state, the seven-volume pilot project summary report, summary report sections drafts, correspondence, project administrative files, memos, budgets, and project analysis.
