An analysis of police responses to gangs in Chicago
In response to Chicago’s well‐documented gang problem, the Chicago Police Department (CPD) established its first specialized gang unit in 1967. In the ensuing decades, the CPD reorganized its core gang unit several times and expanded its anti‐gang response through numerous supporting restructuring efforts. The Chicago experience indicates that reorganization can positively and negatively influence the relative effectiveness of the police response…
Trafficking in Women for Prostitution in Israel
Israel has been criticized by the UN, USA, and international organizations for turning a “blind eye'’ to human trafficking within its borders. In response, the Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry on Trafficking in Women (2005) outlined a four‐year multi‐ agency response. Israel's anti‐trafficking policy now pursues a coordinated effort across the Ministry of Public Security, Justice Ministry, Judiciary, Ministries of Welfare, Health and Interior, …

Several new initiatives have been undertaken to counter this phenomenon. By now all but a few states …
Operation Greylord and its Aftermath
Operation Greylord is regarded as the largest and most successful investigation into courtroom misconduct in the history of the American judiciary. The target of this federal investigation was the Cook County (Chicago and suburbs) court system—the largest system of its kind in the United States. The success of the investigation is attributed to the fact that it was a typical “sting” operation in which the F.B.I. fabricated cases, tape recorded co…
Victims Assistance in Illinois
Within recent years there has been increased sensitivity in the United States to the rights and needs of victims of crime. Illinois, which at the turn of the century pioneered the juvenile court, has taken the lead in the area of rights for crime victims and witnesses. The needs of victims for compensation, information, notification, recognition, and assistance have been met by the Illinois legislature and, by extension, by the criminal justice s…
