TIMOTHY J. INGRASSIA Key to his vision was a belief that education and freedom were linked Chairman inextricably and that individual talent and initiative were the sine qua non of leadership. Always a long-range thinker, Mr. Jefferson expected that the Commonwealth and the nation would be the beneficiaries of the leadership developed among students educated at his University. The Jefferson Scholars Foundation’s mission is grounded in Mr. Jefferson’s vision. The Foundation seeks to attract to the University the most promising students whose accomplishments in student government, creative endeavors, and other areas of individual challenge will set them on a path to make mature contributions to JAMES H. WRIGHT society after graduation. These contributions will benefit the world at President large long after their tenures on Grounds have ended. In 2017-18, the Foundation enjoyed another outstanding year. The 1 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT & CHAIRMAN 34th class of Scholars commenced from Grounds in May. In the class were two Marshall Scholars, two Fulbright Scholars, a Luce Scholar, a Schwarzman Scholar, and a Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Fellow. Other recognitions achieved by members of the class include recipients of the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award and the Ernest H. Ern Distinguished Student Award. Eight members of the class lived on the Lawn, and the cumulative GPA for the class was 3.79. 36OUTSTANDING STUDENTS While the class of 2018 was exceptional, the Scholars who will be returning to Grounds this fall are well positioned to continue the legacy of excellence to which they are heirs. Among the returning Scholars will be a Gray Carrington Scholarship recipient, three vice chairs of the Judiciary Committee, the vice president of the Engineering Student Council, the Rodman Council president, and the Inter-fraternity Council 23DIFFERENT president. Additionally, eight Scholars will be living on the Lawn and STATES six will be pursuing master’s degrees, having already received their undergraduate degrees. Our 14th class of Jefferson Fellows completed their tenures with us this spring. Their record of publications in scholarly journals and presentations at scholarly conferences, along with the recognitions they receive for teaching excellence, continue to impress. Equally impressive are their devotion to the intellectual enterprise and their eagerness to 2 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT & CHAIRMAN share their knowledge with a wide audience. Just as we were bidding farewell and good luck to the graduating classes, we were preparing to welcome the newest Scholars and Fellows. The Jefferson Scholars Class of 2022 will be composed of 36 outstanding students from 23 different states. Our Graduate Fellowship ranks will include 12 new and very talented people selected from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, five new Darden Fellows, and four new Engineering Fellows. The National Fellowship Program will welcome seven new recipients. The new Scholars and Fellows have exemplary records and will make positive contributions to the University. 73 While enrolled, Jefferson Scholars have an outsized impact on the SCHOLARS AND FELLOWS University. Eleven Scholars have been Honor Committee chairs, six have HAVE been student body presidents, 10 have served as student representative RECEIVED to the Board of Visitors, and 15 have received the Ernest H. Ern PRESTIGIOUS Distinguished Student Award. Additionally, 262 have lived on the Lawn NATIONAL and 393 have been inducted in to the Raven Society. FELLOWSHIPS The reach and impact of the Jefferson Scholars Foundation extends well beyond the contributions made by the Scholars and Fellows while they are students. Seventy-three have received prestigious national fellowships including 10 Rhodes Scholarships and seven Marshall Scholarships. Each year the Foundation serves as ambassador for 3 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT & CHAIRMAN the University when it contacts 4,675 secondary schools in 61 regions around the country to promote the University and request nominations to the competition. This ambassadorial effort is led by approximately 1,000 friends and alumni who each year provide meaningful service on our selection committees.

We can also take pride in its impact beyond Grounds, an impact that will grow more pronounced with each passing year and graduating class. TIMOTHY J. INGRASSIA JAMES H.

  • From Social Welfare to Social Control: Federal War in American Cities, 1968-1988
    From Social Welfare to Social Control: Federal War in American Cities, 1968-1988 Elizabeth Kai Hinton Submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2012 Elizabeth Kai Hinton All rights reserved ABSTRACT From Social Welfare to Social Control: Federal War in American Cities, 1968-1988 Elizabeth Hinton The first historical account of federal crime control policy, “From Social Welfare to Social Control” contextualizes the mass incarceration of marginalized Americans by illuminating the process that gave rise to the modern carceral state in the decades after the Civil Rights Movement. The dissertation examines the development of the national law enforcement program during its initial two decades, from the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, which established the block grant system and a massive federal investment into penal and juridical agencies, to the Omnibus Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, which set sentencing guidelines that ensured historic incarceration rates. During this critical period, Presidential Administrations, State Departments, and Congress refocused the domestic agenda from social programs to crime and punishment. To challenge our understanding of the liberal welfare state and the rise of modern conservatism, “From Social Welfare to Social Control” emphasizes the bipartisan dimensions of punitive policy and situates crime control as the dominant federal response to the social and demographic transformations brought about by mass protest and the decline of domestic manufacturing. The federal government’s decision to manage the material consequences of rising unemployment, subpar school systems, and poverty in American cities as they manifested through crime reinforced violence within the communities national law enforcement legislation targeted with billions of dollars in grant funds from 1968 onwards.
