"There is no ground what- ever for the conventional statement that violation of one law, or dis- respect for it, leads to the dieregard of all law," he said. "The con- trary is the case. Lawlessnets is selective, and unbroken human ex- perience goes to prove that a man may hold one law in utter contempt and yet have high respect for the great body of law of the land in which he lives. If law enforcement meant the enforcement of all laws, then the social order, at least in the United States, would quickly be afflicted with paralysis. Not one in a hundred laws is every repealed. They are kept upon the statute books and simply allowed to die.”
