The National Institute of Justice is the research and development branch of the Department of Justice. NIJ's Perspectives on Crime and Justice Lecture
Series is part of its Professional Conference Series, which supports exchanges between researchers and practitioners through conferences, workshops, planning and development meetings, and other support to
the criminal justice field.
The Perspectives series features speakers from a broad cross-section of the criminal justice field who are invited to speak on topics of interest to them. The lecture series was developed to foster dialogue among criminal justice
professionals and to promote further research in the field. The Research Forum publication series, of which this publication is a part, was designed to share information about the Perspectives series and other forms with a
larger audience.
The opinions expressed in this publication are those of the presenters and other persons attending the Perspectives lecture forums. As such, they do
not represent the official positions of the U.S. Department of Justice.
The National Institute of Justice is a component of the Office of Justice Programs, which also includes the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, and the Office for Victims of Crime.
Preface
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is the research and development arm of the U.S. Department of Justice. NIJ's Perspectives on Crime and Justice Lecture Series is an opportunity for policymakers and researchers to pause, reflect, and engage in discourse on the best research about crime and justice issues. Through this series, NIJ continues to present discussions by some of the Nation's most distinguished scholars representing criminology and related disciplines. In 2001, Alfred Blumstein discussed the perceived drop in our violent crime rate, which he noted may be the beginning of a continuing decline, the start of a new increase, or a plateau. Laurence Steinberg discussed concerns about the way the criminal justice system identifies and treats adolescent serious offenders. Carl Bell pointed out the varieties and types of violence and discussed basic strategies for violence prevention. Margaret Berger's lecture underscored the tremendous and far-reaching impact of DNA evidence. The lectures in this volume follow a rich tradition of inquiry and enlightenment on crime and justice issues. They are intended to raise the level of discourse and promote dialogue and interest in new areas of research. I hope you enjoy these thoughtful and thought-provoking discussions. Sarah V. Hart Director National Institute of Justice
