US Sen. Royal Copeland (R-NY) discusses crime prevention

The Senate Committee's public hearing on racketeering and crime control is opened by Colonel Franklin S. Hutchinson, with Senator Wireless Copeland presiding. The discussion highlights distress over the prevalence of young offenders, many under 25, in police lineups and prisons like Sing Sing, where 80% of inmates are under 30. The speaker emphasizes the need for homes, schools, and churches to take responsibility in preventing crime, rather than leaving it solely to law enforcement and the courts.
