Attention, City Editors:
The attached press release was scheduled to be
distributed at a press conference today (Nov. 16) at
10:00 a.m, at the office of the New York City Deputy
Police Commissioner, 240 Center Street. Since I
have not heard from Professor Brown to the contrary,
I assume all went as. planned,
This may be of particular interest to you because
of the timely subject matter,

Commissioner Patrick V. Murphy announced today (Nov. 16) he would
appoint a committee of police executives to work with the author of a just-
released, 185-page report, The New York City Police Department Anti-
Corruption Campaign - October 1970-August 1972, on the study of its
findings. The report, authored by Professor William P. Brown of the
School of Criminal Justice at the State University of New York at Albany,
was the result of a year-long study conducted by Dr, Brown and a team
of graduate student assistants at the invitation of the Police Department.
The committee, to be chaired by Deputy Commissioner William H.T.
Smith, will be named to attempt to develop a program for stimulating the
research and the implementation of research findings.
Dr. Brown's study was directed toward three goals: (1) the determination
of the nature of the nature of the corruption problem faced by the Depart-
ment, (2) a summing up of the anti-corruption measures taken during the
first 22 months of Commissioner Murphy's term of office, and (3) an
indication of the directions for further anti-corruption development,
The report concluded that 'In a City such as New York there will always
be vast, constantly-shifting patterns of pressure toward corruption and
more or less frequent succumbing .'' The New York City's Police Depart-
ment has changed drastically since October, 1970, The question is "Will
the organization which comes into 1974 be a maturing, effective transform
of the 1970 Department or will it be a composite of grand ethical goals
with unassimilated projects and proposals''?
Noting the urgency to get beyond the issues of "grass eating"
policemen or even "meat eating" policemen," Dr. Brown observes that
"This impressive but new, raw and still imperfectly articulated Police
Department can pull together and grow over the corruption issue,
But growth will only occur if the anti-corruption struggle can be
transformed from a crusade against evil into a crusade for improvement
“of the Departmental and societal responses to the broad crime, regula-
tion and service needs which the police must meet."
In determining the nature of his recommendations, the author
concluded that the present police administration was honest and poli-
tically uncontrolled, that it had worked energetically and imaginatively
to fight corruption, and that--with the continuing presence of the
"moral overseers," beginning with the Knapp Commission and continuing
with the Office of Special Prosecutor--it was not likely to become
complacent about corruption in the foreseeable future.
The report continued that, given these circumstances and assuming
that corruption must be seen as something more than a manifestation of
"rotten appleness;' simplistic, judgmental prescriptions have little value.
"TE reforms are to have a chance, they must be seen as interventions in
a complex organizational world, introduced carefully, monitored, and
continuously reviewed as needed."
On these premises, Dr. Brown argues that because answers are
“needed, great areas of essential but heretofore never developed informa-~
tion must be explored, His position is that funding and academic
assistance should be sought to enable a wide variety of research
programs. If these are conducted by recognized research scholars,
the Department will have brought into the fight additional help,
a greater possibility of research findings being seen as objective
and a continuing development of the open relationship of the police
to the larger society.
The author has enumerated 10 clusters of problems representing
the major suggested research areas. The First Order Problems are
those which everyone seems to agree have great importance in any
reasoned approach to the problems of aoreupete. These include the
means for keeping a continued emphasis on the control of corruption,
the determination of a departmental position with respect to such
borderline issues as that of free meals, the specific means for
handling such "pockets: of uniformed police corruption" as the tow
truck racket or extortions from bars and grills, and finally, the best
methods for receiving and utilizing eaugtateke as a source of infor-
mation on corruption problems.
Dr. Brown also believes that research is needed on Second Order
Problems--issues important to the corruption control theory development
but not as obviously related as the First Order Problems. These deal
with such matters as clarification of the police mission, particularly
in respect to the police handling of regulatory activities and the
victimless offenses. ‘They also include the development of sophisticated
_patterns of administration for the major new units formed to fight
corruption; the Organized Crime Bureau, the restructured Office of the
First Deputy Police Commissioner, and the Criminal Justice Bureau.
The final areas indicated for further studies are in the implications
of a broadly reconsidered concept of training and work toward a.cor-
ruption-resistant police subculture.
Earlier sections of the report reviewed the growth of the cor-
ruption problem in New York City from the mid-Nineteenth Century "when
City politics were at their lowest and most corrupt," through the great
promise of the Economy and Efficiency era and into the days of Prohibition
- which, with "its great flood of easy money and its whole-public support
of widespread law breaking, made American policing a training ground
for corruption for almost 20 years."
Dr. Brown, who had studied the regime of Mayor LaGuardia for his
Doctoral Dissertation, observed that LaGuardia broke the control of
Tammany over corruption and ushered in a 40-year period "when graft--
although recognized and condemned--was seen as a matter concerning
corrupt individuals rather than a corrupted system." He holds that
from the days of LaGuardia, the police wera left largely in control
of police corruption in New York City. During the 30's and 40's,
corruption patterns remained constant enough so that known dishonest
policemen had great power. "...in the 50's and through the middle
of the 60's, there was a string of vigorous and well-intentioned
commissioners. Career paths developed for police executives who were
honest, hard-working and effective." Dishonest executives had to be
circumspect and effective.
---—-— During the administration of Commissioner Howard Leary, a new
police establishment and a new police image arose, dominated from the
bottom rather than the top. By 1970, according to the author, the
weight of inertia had settled over a tired regime. The responsibility
for corruption investigation was narrowly centralized while the cor-
ruption potential responsibilities, plainclothes and narcotics, were
diffused throughout the Department, Narcotics had emerged as the most
important source of corruption and the officials in the Department could
not control the situation. "A group at the top dealt in platitudes and
unrealities; a growing and increasingly undisciplined corruption
existed in widening pockets at the base."
In reviewing the anti-corruption action by the Department
between October 1970 and August 1972, Dr. Brown noted as the most
impressive achievement the development of a leadership group which
appears to devote itself to the proposition that success depends on
hard, honest work toward managerial rather than stereotyped police
goals. The formulation of strong and clear policy guidelines defining
and interdicting corruption in unequivocal terms, and demanding that -
honesty be accompanied by efficiency was noted as were openness and a
view that overall questions must be answered beyond those which emerge
in the conventional case-by-case consideration, In the area of organi-
zation a whole series of changes have shifted the Department from one
heading up to. a Chief Inspector reporting to a Civilian Police Com-
missioner to.a situation where the Police Commissioner is in admini-
strative control, The First Deputy Police Commissioner's Office has
acquired a new, strengthened staff role. Two new units--the Organized
_.Crime Control Bureau and the Criminal Justice Bureau--have developed
significant, innovative programs with great potential for the future.
Widespread administrative and training changes and a new emphasis on
external relationships have been accompanied by the use of a series
of strong anti-corruption measures, including adoption of the "Turning"
Approach and the Field Associates Program.
Dr. Brown, who retired from the New York City Police Department
in 1962 as an Inspector, donated his time and effort to this research
as a public service. A National Science Foundation Award paid for the
student Research Assistants,
Dr. Brown has studied this problem extensively. In,1965-66, he
made a nationwide survey on police corruption for the President's
Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice. In 1971,
he prepared a monograph concerning this subject on commission of the
United States Department of Justice.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE DEAN ELECTED TO AMERICAN LAW INSTITUTE
Richard A, Myren, dean of the School of Criminal Justice at
State University of New York at Albany, has been elected to
membership in The American Law Institute. He will attend the
organization's annual meeting May 15-18 in Washington, D.C,
In advising Dean Myren of the institute's action, Norris
Darrell, president, wrote: ''The ultimate responsibility for
what the Institute does to clarify and improve the law and its
administration rests on its membership. No product of the
Institute's efforts may bear the imprimatur of the Institute until
and unless it has been approved by the membership at an annual
meeting. Accordingly, we are very selective in choosing our
members since we want to make certain, so far as is possible,
that those who are elected will actively participate in the
Institute efforts."
The election of Dean Myren to the organization is viewed
as a particular honor and a singular recognition of Dean Myren's
contributions to the profession since he is not a practicing
attorney. He is the immediate past president of the Association
of Criminal Justice Scientists, an association of professors of

TWO HONORED AT SUNYA FOR OUTSTANDING TEACHING
Chairman Dorothy Harrison said the committee recognizes that
"the most important rewards of fine teaching are those enjoyed
by student and teacher quite apart from this contest, We also
note that there are many very good teachers who have not been
named by our committee. We hope that by naming two of the
fine teachers on this campus for specific recognition we may
help to focus attention in one way on the importance that the
academic community attaches to teaching".

Evan R. Collins, former president of State University of New York and

ceremonies officially naming the Humanities Building for the late Edith O,
Wallace, first chairman of SUNYA's Division of Humanities. The event
is scheduled for 2:30 p,m, at the structure's western entrance.
Dr. Wallace, a member of the Class of 1917, died Feb. 11, 1972, at
the age of 75, She is the first alumna to be honored through the naming of
a building on the university campus, The recommendation for the dedication
of the Edith O, Wallace Humanities Building was made by the SUNYA
University Council and approved by the SUNY Board of Trustees.

and Sciences, indicated that the humanities faculty and staff were pleased
by the decision. She spoke of Dr. Wallace's long and devoted service to
the humanities and of her involvement in planning the division while still
on the downtown campus.
After graduating from State College for Teachers, Albany, Dr. Wallace
received her Master of Arts from Wellesley College and, later, a Doctor
of Philosophy from Columbia University. She served as professor of
classics at Albany and was instrumental in establishing a course in humanities
which developed into a department of comparative literature. As dean of
humanities from 1962 until her retirement in 1965 she expanded her super-
vision to the larger field of language and literature.

SUNYA BILINGUAL PROJECT GETS FEDERAL SUPPORT
The School of Education, State University of New York
at Albany, has been awarded a federal grant of $180, 000
to continue its Bilingual Education Project into 1973-74
according to Richard Light, assistant professor of instruc-
tion and project director.
The funds will enable a continuation of the special
program where educators are trained to teach both in
English and Spanish, and to help children whose command
of English is so meager they cannot profit from regular
schooling. Best-known phase of the project is at the
Main Street School in Amsterdam where youngsters of
recently-arrived Latin American families receive instruc-
tion in two languages. .
In addition to renewing the on-going training program,
the grant also will provide funds enabling the School of
Education to put into effect several new approaches,
"We call these developmental activities" explained
Dr, Light, and he said one of them will focus on the Spanish
language.
"We intend to find out what can be done to increase
concern for Spanish by its speakers so as to increase its
use and prestige, "he announced, adding that cooperation

of the National League of Defense of the Spanish Language would
be enlisted. Such activities as literacy programs in Spanish
for illiterate adult speakers are planned,
Another new effort will involve strengthening teacher training.
Dr. Light said the School of Education will explore such approaches
as exchange of advanced students and teachers with colleges and
universities in Puerto Rico, Mexico, and other Spanish-speaking
countries.
Dr. Light said other activities will include informing Latin
Americans about bilingual education work in the U. S. and
exploring possibilities of producing teaching materials on American
Indian languages. The grant also will make possible additional
fellowships for graduate students and a summer training institute.
Randolph S, Gardner, dean, hailed the grant as a ''fiscal
tonic which brings New York's schools closer to the ideal of
education for each person according to his need,"
Said Dean Gardner, ''We're pleased that the success of
our bilingual efforts during the past two years is noted by
the U. S. Office of Education, The supplementary dollars
for maving ahead may well be considered a vote of confidence,"
Commenting further the dean observed: "Bilingual
education is much more than merely teaching words and
giving information in two languages; it is a people-centered
force involving both school and community where educators

and townspeople cooperatively work on a worthwhile endeavor,"
Concluded Dr, Gardner: ''Although school is considered
the major education agent in the life of a child, the youngster's
family and his sub-society in which his life unfolds are equally
influential, Our bilingual project here at SUNYA is sensitive
to this situation,"

BRITISH WEST INDIAN STUDENT RECEIVES NURSING DEGREE AT SUNYA
Anis Veronica Phillips, of Bequia, St. Vincent, British West Indies,
is the first international student to be graduated from the School of
Nursing at State University of New York at Albany. She received
her nurse's pin at the school's third annual convocation ceremony
held Saturday morning, May 26, in the Recital Hall of the Performing
Arts Center and in the afternoon she was the recipient of a Bachelor
of Science at the 129th commencement program of the university.
Miss Phillips, a graduate of Bequia Anglican School, prior to
completing her degree requirements did independent study in
maternity nursing at Downstate Medical College, New York, where
she explored the role of nurse-midwife. She stated she was
interested in that particular aspect of nursing "because in my island
midwifery is an integral part of the nursing curriculum".
The newly-graduated nurse plans to remain in the United States
in order to gain required experience in maternity nursing to
qualify for admission to either a certificate program in nurse
midwifery or a master's degree program in maternal and child
health with a certificate in nurse midwifery. ''I've always been
interested in nursing but I enjoyed maternity nursing the most in
my training," she said. ''Perhaps the primary reason for this

is the satisfaction received from providing care for, and from moving
to so close a relationship with, other human beings at so special a
time in their lives."
Miss Phillips said she had gained a tremendous amount of
knowledge during her four years at SUNYA which she hoped to
take home with her, She added, "I also hope, maybe, to function
in a teaching capacity there as well as nursing so some of the
concepts can be implemented in my own country".
