Oliver (criminal justice, Sam Houston State U.) and Marion (political science, U. of Akron) collect 21 previously published papers from a range of disciplines analyzing various aspects of the roles of the President and the Congress in federal crime control policy. Opening papers set out the general historical and political context of federal crime control policy. Later papers discuss the role of crime in presidential campaigns; the crime control policies of Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Clinton; presidential agenda setting in crime control; presidential rhetoric, moral panic, and the "War on Drugs;" executive orders and criminal justice policy; Congress, symbolic politics, and the evolution of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994; the symbolic politics of capital punishment in Congress; presidential influence over Congress on crime control policy; and budgets and institutional change in criminal justice policy.
