The goal of the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) is to reduce crime and delinquency while continually improving the quality of criminal justice. The responsibilities of the National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice (NILECJ), the re search arm of LEAA, include research and development efforts in the prevention of crime, in the detection of criminal acts, in the identification and apprehension of offenders, and in the swift and fair adjudication of suspects who are arrested and charged. The basic rationale of this research is that Ly increasing the likelihood of arrest and conviction, the risk associated with the commission of crimes is also elevated. If the risk of criminality becomes sufficiently high, there will be a proportional reduction in the volume and impact of criminal activity.
