Abstract:
Papers of Marshall B. Clinard, a University of Wisconsin sociology professor, concerning his research, World War II work at the Office of Price Administration, and consulting in India on urbanization. Correspondence, 1939-1952, relates almost entirely to Clinard's dissertation on urbanization and criminal behavior (University of Chicago, 1941) and to his book, The Black Market (1952). The collection also contains drafts and working papers for both the book and the dissertation. The working papers consist of notes, statistics, case histories of criminals, personality inventories, articles and clippings, and charts. Materials from the files of the Enforcement Division of the Office of Price Administration, 1942-1946, where Clinard served as principal statistician, include letters, reports, code lists, printed matter, manuals, statistical materials, clippings, shorthand notes, and a history of the OPA. His experiences in India, 1958-1960, as advisor to the government on urban community organization, especially slums, is documented by a 1961 tape recording.
