{"title":"RAMSEY CLARK","authors":"K.

By Ramsey Clark. New York: Simon & Schuster, 1970. Pp. S for what they say, others for who says it. This book, by the Attorney-General under the Johnson Administration, falls in the sec- ond class. It is, however, by no means a second-class book. Clark, who became a folk-hero to many left-wingers when Richard Nixon made him the Alger Hiss of the last presidential election, has based his reply to this attack on a useful com- bination of hard fact and liberal ideology. This book is, contrary to the tone it assumes at some points, a political docu- ment. For Clark, like the President, is using the current hysteria about crime as a means for advancing ideological goals. To Richard Nixon, crime was a useful war cry because it appealed both to those who were its victims and to those who needed a new word to identify Them - The forces opposed to Our Way of Life. But where the Vice-Presi- dent would blame crime on something called permissiveness, Clark thinks it is due to our failure to enact the liberal program of more jobs, better homes and an integrated society. Just as the Nixon campaign did no- thing new beyond giving fear another name, so Clark's book tells us nothing that is not already to be found in the pages of the reports of the President's Crime Commission and the Kerner Com- mission. Though the book probably owes its popularity to the insatiable need of liberals to be told there is a Santa Claus, it can well be suggested to anyone who is seeking a short, humane and reason- ably accurate account of current thinking on the topic. As the subtitle suggests, Clark covers everything: the questionable value and OME BOOKS ARE IMPORTANT cynical manipulation of crime statistics; the care and feeding of the Mafia; the dope menace; gun control; police mal- practice; prosecutorial discretion and po- litical corruption of the courts; the prison as an academy of crime and a sanctuary for sodomy; and the explanations of lawyers, social scientists, philosophers and other think-types for all of this. Though intended for the general reader, the book tries to give an accurate picture of even the more complex problems, and Clark attempts to cover concisely the em- pirical underpinnings for his conclusions. However, this richness of detail, coupled with a prose style which favors short, choppy sentences, does make the book difficult to take in large doses. Minor defects of style aside, this is a deservedly popular book, for it says all those things that people ought to be aware of on the subject of crime. More- over, though it is modest about Clark's own role as Attorney-General, one can- not read very far before deciding that Ramsey Clark is a nice guy, a useful conclusion for those who feel he was un- fairly treated by Republican propagan- dists. However, the fact that Clark is more personable than John Mitchell does not necessarily mean that his conclusions are more accep","PeriodicalId":175042,"journal":{"name":"Lawyers for the Left","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128280369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
