WOLFGANG ABSTRACT: Despite the ubiquity of violence in world history, and the efforts of scholars and national commissions to diag- nose its causes and prescribe solutions, violence remains a major social problem in many parts of the world. Indeed, it is such in part because of these efforts, and because under- standing and solutions are problematic. Papers in this issue are reviewed and the respective roles of and relations between national commissions and the scholarly community discussed. James F. Short, Jr. is professor of Sociology and director of the Social Research Center at Washington State University. He served as co-director of Research for the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence. He was dean of the Graduate School at Washington State University, 1964-1968, and has taught at the University of Chicago and the University of Hawaii. He has written or edited numerous books and articles, including Suicide and Homicide (with A. F. Henry), Group Process and Gang Delinquency (with F. L. Strodtbeck), and The Social Fabric of the Metropolis. In 1969 he was the recipient of a National Institute of Mental Health Special Fellowship and was a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, California. Marvin E. Wolfgang is professor and chairman of the Department of Sociology, Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. He was co-director of Research of the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence, and is a member of the Commission on Obscenity and Pornography and of the American Bar Association Commission on Cor- rectional Facilities and Services. He has authored and edited numerous books and articles, among which are The Subculture of Violence (with F. Ferracuti), Crime and Culture, and Delinquency: Selected Studies (with T. Sellin). He was twice a Guggen- heim Fellow, and was elected a Fellow of Churchill College in 1969 during his year as visiting professor at the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge. 1
