"The FBI'S Biased Sampling." Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 29(1), pp. 38–42 Additional informationNotes on contributorsHans ZeiselA number of experts, including the author, believe that the Federal Bureau of Investigation should turn the job of keeping national crime statistics over to an independent agency in the Justice Department. In this analysis of the Bureau's recordkeeping practices, Professor Zeisel reveals that the Bureau has been using a biased statistical sample to show that the federal courts can be blamed for a high degree of criminal recidivism. Hans Zeisel is professor of law and sociology at The University of Chicago.
