  Charles E. Silberman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles E. Silberman is the author of Criminal Violence, Criminal Justice (1978), a study of crime and the American criminal justice system.
Silberman uses econometric methods to measure the effectiveness in terms of criminal deterrence of two factors: the degree of punishment; and the probability of apprehension.
Silberman concluded that contrary to this model, the likelihood of punishment had a greater effect in most situations.

Anyone who has ever spent any length of time in the classroom and seen who moves on to administrative positions knows that there is considerable merit to this belief.
Charles E. Silberman, in Crisis in the Classroom, after an extensive study of the public schools, wrote "What is wrong with the administration of the public schools has far less to do with the fact that principals and superintendents are poor administrators or politicians than with the fact that they are poor educators."
And Charles H. Wilson, writing about school management, said "I believe that many of these ills could be corrected if administrators were directly responsible to teachers, much as hospital managers are responsive, if not responsible to doctors." And, though he didn't add it, as court administrators are responsive to judges.
