CH 5-5164 666 WEST BROADWAY GLENDALE CALIFORNIA POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' JOURNAL BIG AUTO YEAR The year 1956 has been a big one for the American motorist, according to the California State Automobile Association. Major milestones were passed in virtually every phase of motor transportation - road building, safety, vehicle registration and travel. The single development that over-shadowed all others in the motor world was passage of the huge Federal highway bill. Although no direct benefits were noticeable during 1956, the $33 billion Federal program will eventually provide a 41,000mile system of interstate highways and also make more funds available for the improvement of many more thousands of miles of state roads and city streets. The AAA motorists' organization said the only black mark on the 1956 record was the increase in the number of highway deaths. Final figures are not yet tabulated, but it seems certain that a new high of over 40,000 deaths will be recorded. "On the other hand, a significant gain was made in the growth of high school driver and traffic education classes. For the first time, student enrollment in classes offering both classroom study and driver training exceeded 500,000 during the 1955-56 school year. This is a major step forward because studies prove that complete driver education courses can reduce accidents and traffic violations by as much as 50 per cent for those taking the Course," the CSAA said. Two record marks of near astronomical proportions were established in vehicle registrations and miles traveled in the United States during the past year. The total number of cars, trucks and buses now on American streets and highways passed the 65,000,000 point late in the year, and it is estimated that these vehicles rolled up over 600 billion miles. The previous high mileage figure was achieved in 1955, when Americans drove 583 billion miles. The CSAA also pointed out that recreational travel by automobile also continued to spiral upward. More than 80,000,000 Americans, roughly half the population, took at least one vacation trip during the year. About 85 per cent of these trips were made by car. "What did you bid no trumps on."

April - May, 195 POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' JOURNAL Page 37 SEX DEVIATION AND CRIME! Predicating his article on the contention that sexual deviates present an ever perplexing problem to law enforcement officers, Alan Canty, executive director of the Psychopathic Clinic of the Recorder's Court in Detroit, makes several pertinent observations for the benefit of police departments the country over. Describing the various forms that sex deviation takes, Mr Canty, in The Police Chief, gives this advice: "As a law enforcement officer, you do not round up all known pickpockets when you are investigating a safe robbery . . . (so) when investigating a sadistic rape or murder concentrate your fire. Don't waste time bringing in all known homosexuals or exhibitionists. If the investigation leads nowhere, those people can be brought in later." His article, in full: Sex crimes and sexual criminals are a problem to all of us in the field of law enforcement. Following one well-publicized sex crime, the citizen is alarmed, frightened and aroused. He has a desire for protection and, in some cases, for revenge. When the public is aroused, more offenses are reported and the citizen's apprehension is further reflected by his alertness to suspicious persons or circumstances which he considers threatening in the sexual area. This means more arrests, more investigations, the classification of suspects as to their possible involvement in the case under investigation, or the realization that there is no evidence to connect the suspect with this particular crime. NEED SPECIALISTS Whenever a vicious sex crime occurs, perhaps the rape and murder of a little girl, hundreds of suspects may be brought in for study. All known sex deviates in your area are certain to come under investigation. You are then faced with the problem of deciding which of your suspects, though not involved in the crime under investigation, might nevertheless be reacting to dangerous symptons or might well be considered suspects in other unsolved sex crimes. In this situation, the police investigator feels insecure and welcomes the advice and assistance of the skilled psychologist or psychiatrist, particularly if this specialist in the field of human behavior has had experience in working with criminal of- BEL VISTA Convalescent Hospital HILARY E. POYATTO HEMLOCK 4-0167 AND 4-0168 5001 E. ANAHEIM LONG BEACH, CALIF. fenders. Fortunate indeed is the police department which has ready access to consultants of this type. In the city of Detroit, the writer, as director of the Psychiatric Clinic of the Recorder's Court, has had occasion to study convicted criminal offenders during the past 36 years in collaboration with a staff of psychiatrists and clinical psychologists. Since the ten judges in this court have the responsibility for trying cases involving all criminal offenses committed in the city of Detroit, all types of criminal offenders may be referred to the clinic by the trial judge interested in the clinic's advisory services. SEX OFFENDERS In the average year, the clinic studies over 2,500 convicted criminal offenders. About 500 of these, or approximately 30 per cent, are sex offenders. Each subject is studied physically, psychiatrically, psychologically and sociologically for a period of five hours. This 2,500 hours each year, devoted to the study of sexually maladjusted criminal offenders, has given us some understanding of sexual problems in their relationship to crime. As a result, we WORRALL CAMERA COMPANY 5659 SELMARAINE DRIVE CULVER CITY CALIFORNIA FRED VAILE VA 1834 699 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE Los ANGELES CALIFORNIA SELWYN-PACIFIC COMPANY 340 WEST AVENUE 26 LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA have found it possible, in some cases, to offer helpful advice to our associates in the field of law enforcement. SPECIAL COURSES The desire for such assistance was first brought to the writer's attention 21 years ago when he was asked to discuss sex offenders before a class of student patrolmen and policewomen in the Detroit Police Academy. Since that time, every class of trainees has been given this instruction. GLOBE WIRELESS, Ltd. EX 2-6181 141 BATTERY STREET SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. California Motor Express, Ltd.
