Abstract

The Reagan administration has been accused of setting back civil rights enforcement. This article reviews available data on the administration's enforcement efforts and discusses changes in emphasis, tone, and types of cases pursued. An emphasis on identifiable victims and a movement away from more punitive measures is apparent. Moreover, the large budget cuts and the administration's antipathy to goals and timetables raise questions concerning the “quality” of enforcement.
