Abstract
The Cleveland mayoral election of 1975 was fought between incumbent Mayor Ralph Perk and Arnold Pinkney, President of the School Board.1 According to the Oakland Tribune of November 3, “Pinkney … cites what he says is a high rate of street crime under Perk and … Perk … says crime is bred in the schools where Pinkney has jurisdiction.”
