...police effort is spent not on crime but on hushing blaring radios, rescuing cats and administering first aid. Countless additional police hours are wasted on crimes without true victims, like drunkenness and gambling. Even the best police work is undone by clogged courts and punitive prisons that breed more crime. Of all reported major offenses, the experts say, only 12% lead to arrests, only 6% to convictions and only 1% to prison. Thus, in the U.S. today, the chances of being punished for a serious crime are three in 100. Moreover, one-third of the inmates released from the nation...
Durk is convinced that a new breed of committed cops could radically change the quality of U.S. law enforcement. Too many officers, he suggests, are insensitive to the needs of the ghetto. "We need policemen who worry about the kid getting raped on the tenement roof, not those who look out of the window of their patrol car and say 'See the animals.'

...breed comprises a vocal minority of first-year MBA students manifesting a genuine interest in solving the problems of an ill society which they do not ignore. They are demanding more relevant business cases to study and an all-around smaller work load.

...hard fight lies ahead for new breed people remaining at the school. Over the summer, the administration will have to investigate the charges of insensitivity to black students and will have to make plans for immediate implementation of programs such as a Sensitizing Week. Otherwise, the school may face a continuation of Afro's Spring strike in September. Next year, there will be 135 black students instead of 90. along with about 25 Mexican and Puerto Rican students instead of 7. The number of women may also jump from the 60 this year. All these minority groups will demand...
...Business School denies the change in atmosphere most often explained by "the new breed of first-year student." This type of student is not interested primarily in becoming a corporate vice-president soon after he graduates. His immediate goal in life is not merely to exceed the median starting salary for Harvard MBAs ($13,500). Instead, the new breed of Business School student is often interested in going into social work, polities, or education. He goes to the Business School to learn how to deal with businessmen, not to become...
