Appointed by President Hoover (left)\u00a0and including many legal luminaries of the day, the Wickersham Commission produced an extraordinary series of reports in 1931 that examined in great detail the causes of crime and the operation of the American criminal-justice system. Perhaps best remembered for the critical light it cast on extreme police interrogation tactics, the Commission\u2019s work might also be thought of as the coming-of-age of American criminology, as a progenitor of the contemporary \u201cevidence-based decision making\u201d movement, and as a centerpiece of the first presidential effort to craft a comprehensive federal crime-control policy.<\/p>\n<p>The conference will kick off at 4:30 on October 4 with a keynote address by one of my favorite authors on crime policy, Professor Frank Zimring of Berkeley.
