Wolfen Research Fellowship Supports ‘Big Bang’ Study SOMETHING MYSTERIOUS happened in the United States during the 1990s: from coast to coast, crime rates plummeted. Over the decade, the incidence of such serious offenses as homicide, rape and robbery tumbled by a stunning 40 percent. The phenomenon caused widespread optimism among many criminologists and law enforcement officials, who concluded that crime control measures of the day had proven to be a fabulous success. For Boalt Professor Franklin Zimring, the drop in crime spurred many more puzzling questions than answers. Zimring, a nationally recognized criminologist who serves as the William G. Simon Professor of Law, launched a major research project probing that decade-long trend. “When crime rates drop, we think it resulted from whatever the police did last year,” explains Zimring. “It’s very reassuring, but it’s dangerous, too.” Through a painstaking collection and analysis of criminal justice statistics, Zimring plans to elucidate the causes for the decline, as well as its effects and lessons for the future. In the process, he hopes to shed light on how the crime drop changed the very fabric of social life in American cities, measuring everything from fluctuations in real estate prices to levels of citizen fear. The investigation is one Professor Franklin Zimring of the major undertakings of Zimring’s already illustrious career. Renowned for his path-breaking empirical studies, Zimring plans to complete his inquiry with a book, The Great American Crime Decline, to be published in 2006 by Oxford University Press. Zimring knew he needed significant research support to complete the project—and he recently received that assistance as the first recipient of The Werner and Mimi Wolfen Research Professorship. This endowment allows a distinguished member of the Boalt faculty to devote a semester to pursuing an ambitious research enterprise away from day-to-day teaching responsibilities. The research professorship was made possible through the generous philanthropy of its namesakes Werner Wolfen ’53 and his wife, Mimi. A senior partner emeritus at the Los Angeles firm of Irell & Manella, Wolfen has demonstrated deep loyalty to his alma mater with gifts to the International Human Rights Law Clinic, faculty endowments and other programs. As a student, Wolfen recalls being the beneficiary of unparalleled training from a “dream faculty” that included such towering figures as Arthur Corbin, William Prosser, James McBaine, Adrian Kragen ’34 and Stefan Riesenfeld ’37. Through the Wolfen Research Professorship, he and Mimi are pleased to further enhance Boalt’s proud tradition of faculty excellence. “I feel I owe a great debt to Boalt for the education I received at very little cost,” Wolfen says. 25 Werner ’53 and Mimi Wolfen (above) endowed a research professorship, allowing Professor Franklin Zimring (pictured below with one of his previous books) to pursue his research on the 1990s drop in crime rates in America Zimring is grateful to the Wolfens for making his “bigger bang” research project possible. “There are potential insights of tremendous importance,” says Zimring. “Crime in big cities was lower than it had been for 30 years. That’s a big story in and of itself. It’s also a wonderful window into what we know about the causes for the increase and decrease of crime.” A special element of Zimring’s book features two new studies: an analysis of a parallel decline in the crime rate in Canada and a simultaneous 70 percent crime drop in New York City. The experience in Canada raises questions about whether nationwide policing and other criminal justice strategies or economic trends can be credited for the overall crime decline in the United States, Zimring says. He is carefully examining such factors as demographic shifts that saw a 30 percent drop in the 15- to 29-year-old age group, a population considered at high risk for crime. The New York decline shows that crime could drop much more in most other cities in the United States. ALUMNI � 3+ consecutive-year donor * deceased ✦ public interest/service
