Original Toronto Star caption: Toronto's Skyline in the background, Prof. Clifford Shearing strolls with his wife, Memory, right, son Anthony, 4, and baby daughter Renee Anne and Mrs. Annabeth Black with her children Alan and Frazer on Algonquin Island. Prof. Shearing has done an intensive study on 1,000 telephone calls made to Metro police by citizens seeking aid in Toronto. His conclusions will be published later this year in a lengthy report entitled Dial-A-Cop. Shearing has discovered, through his research, that crime increases in areas where there's privacy.
