ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This is the last of a five (5) volume set of conference pro ceedings produced as an aspect of a Law Enforcement Assistance Admini stration (LEAA) grant. The project goal is to enhance citizen efforts to address criminal justice issues. The conferences in this series were designed to be a dynamic research process which encouraged input by criminal justice professionals and practitioners, as ~ell as the lay plli",'i i c and ex-offenders. The people responsible for the success of this conference and preparation of th.is volume are n!JmErous. Mr. Joel I~hite, University of New Mexico, coordinated the physical arrangements for the conference and made sure we were comfortable. Dr. Leonard Stitleman, Director, D"jvision of Public Administration, U.N.M., served as the Conference Con venor; working long hours to secure a balance of professionals, ex offenders, pr~ctitioners. and lay citizens for our sessions. Brenda Bradshaw and Peter Eck managed the preparation of these presentations, working with the material which B.renda Bradsh.aw had transcribed and drafted. Isabelle Col lora and I did the final work on concept retrieval and clarity while Barbara Neylon labored over manuscript design, proofing, and production. If this sounds like a confusing situa tion, please consider that the other four volumes were in various stages of the same process. I am grateful to have been associated with these people. One final note. The proceedings are intended to paraphrase the ,presentations instead of reproduce them !'Iord-for-word. We strived to remain faithful to the concepts which were shared in the conference while conveying the nature of the interaction. Human and machine falli bility may have caused some mistakes, for those we apologize. However, overall good fortune has aided in the high quality of this publication.

My name is Eddie Castillo and I am here representing the American GI Forum, The American GI Forum is the largest Spanish Speaking Veterans organization in the United States. Since its inception in 1948 in Corpus Christi, Texas, the GI Forum has been in the forefront in the fight for equality. human rights. and human dignity. We becaJlle iftvolved in this project because of our ,concern for seek ing solutions to the problems of crime. law enforcement, and the criminal justice system. As Mexican Americans we have too often been Victimized by the three sectors just mentioned. As ethnic minorities we have too often been the recipients of a brand of justice dealt out by the law enforcement sector under the guise of law and order. This alone has done more to discredit the justice system in this country; a justice system which allows a police officer to be "judge, jury, and executioner". A case in point is the Ricardo Morales' case in Castroville. Texas. Morales was murdered in cold blood by the sheriff of Castroville. The she:'iff was tried on charges of involuntary manslaughter and received a sentence of less than 5 years in prison. His wife and daughter. who had transported the body some 400 miles and buried it. received fines of $49.50 each. Our efforts must not only focus on the criminal elements in society but also on the criminal elements within our enforcement "" __________________________-...JI system. It is here that the average citizen comes in contact with, and therefore forms an opinion of the justice system in the country. We must never lose sight of our objectives by the enormity of the task.
