Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS 1983] 547 ernment is facilitated if administrators act not on the basis of what each one may think expedient, but on the basis of fixed policies to which they are required to adhere. Of course, Western lawyers will argue that no legal system in a non-pluralistic society can provide the protection against bureaucratic tyranny that they expect in a good society, but they now have reason to conclude that there are stirrings in the East that could lead, for the general public if not for the dissidents, to a more agreeable relationship between the bu­ reaucrats with whom they deal and themselves. CRIME AND MODERNIZATION: THE IMPACT OF INDUSTRIALIZATION AND URBANIZATION ON CRIME. By Louise I. Shelley. Foreword by James F. Short, Jr. Carbondale and Edwardsville: Southern Illinois Univer­ sity Press, 1981. Pp. xxii. 186. Reviewed by John N. Hazard * Does socialism reduce crime levels during the developmental process?
