It is certainly relevant and like its sister issues of abortion and domestic violence seems to elude rationality! New Orleans is the perfect setting given Louisiana's restrictive and draconian abortion laws. It is an emerging Criminal Justice issue and area of research. It has important public policy implications. It is an issue the Division of Women and Crime want ASC to recognize, validate and collaborate on. Being the new Division Chair I'm not sure how plenaries happen but would like to work with you to make this one happen in 1992. Please get back with me with your ideas, comments, suggestions. We can "seize the moment" together.

First, let me clear up the loose ends from the San Francisco meeting: I spoke to Jeff Fagan about the Public Policy Committee's work, he expressed a provide some expertise, so all you need to do is call him, if in fact the Committee sets up some sort of task force; Enclosed you will find, 1) the Horger, Brown, Condon paper which is the basis of the deterrence argument for criminalization of pregnancy issue, 2) the description of Linda Gordon's efforts in Los Angeles, 3) the material from the Dec. 6th meeting in Manhattan, "Talking About Women and Crime: A forum for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers." Second, I've taken the liberty to write for the ASC conference papers on issues related to criminalization of pregnancy.I'm enclosing a copy of the letter that went out along with a list of the people it went to. I'll forward papers as they come in January is rapidly approaching, and with it, the Committee will meeting (via conference call) to begin reviewing the evidence krrcrw-y-uu've ci e pap rom t e perhaps even the papers from your own session at this meeting.

I certainly agree with you concerning the relevance and importance of this issue for the Society. I will be working with Dean Blumstein to establish the plenary sessions for the 1992 meeting and will certainly suggest this plenary to be sponsored by the Division on Women and Crime for his consideration. Again, thank you for your suggestion and I will be back in touch with you as soon as possible.
