(Continued on Page 3) ANTI-CRIME LEGISLATION OVERNOR Lehman, in his message to the Legislature, urges enactment of the remainder of.the anti-crime program considered by the Legislature last year. Among proposed measures specially stressed are the establishment of a Bureau of Crime Prevention in the Executive Department, a State Department of Justice modeled after the Federal Department, and the estab- lishment, as an experiment, of a Farm Colony or Work Camp for the detention of alcoholics and vagrants, under State auspices. Another recommendation has to do with punish- ment for murder. Under present law where a murder occurs during the commission of a felony all those involved, if found guilty, must be sentenced to death. The jury has no discretion. While believing that the sentence for felony murder should continue to be death, the same as for premeditated murder, the Governor would empower a jury to accompany any verdict of guilty with a recommendation of executive clemency in which case the sentence shall not be death but im- prisonment for life. The Governor in his message says: Last year as a result of the Conference on Crime, the Criminal and Society, I presented to the Legislature a sixty- point anti-crime program. A very large part of it is now in force. It marks the greatest step forward in the fight against crime. I wish on this occasion to express my appreciation of the passage of so many of the bills by the Legislature. Several of the most important recommendations, however, were not adopted. I resubmit to your Honorable Bodies for favorable consideration the remainder of the anti-crime program. Par- ticularly I wish to solicit your approval of the following mea- sures: 1. A bureau of crime prevention should be set up in the Executive Department. Its function would be to assume leadership in the stimulation, development and coordination of local crime prevention activities. I view its establishment as the most vital and necessary measure for an effective long- range campaign against crime. 2. We should set up a State Department of Justice modeled upon the Federal Department, possessing broad powers to cooperate with and assist local district attorneys.- In it should be placed the Division of State Police and a central bureau of criminal identification. 3. A system for recruit and in-service training for police. 4. Optional consolidation of local units. 5. Legislation to permit women to serve as jurors. (Continued on Page 5) NUMBER 1
