"Crisis in Black and White is a powerful and unsparing analysis of 'the Negro problem' in America. It is one of the finest books on American society that has appeared in several years. 'The Negro problem' is not something that can be separated from the 'main pattern' of our style and life." -- Jerome Butler

Silberman, Charles Eliot was born on January 31, 1925 in Des Moines. Son of Seppy I. and Cel (Levy) Silberman.
Bachelor of Arts, Columbia, 1946; postgraduate in econs, Columbia, 1946-1949; Doctor of Humane Letters (honorary), Kenyon College, 1972.
After war service in the Pacific, he gained a B.A. in Economics from Columbia University in 1946 and also undertook graduate studies at Columbia. Subsequently he taught at Columbia and City College of New York before joining Fortune magazine in 1953 where he remained until the early 1970s. He was the author of Criminal Violence, Criminal Justice (1978), a study of crime and the American criminal justice system.
Silberman used econometric methods to measure the effectiveness in terms of criminal deterrence of two factors: the degree of punishment. And the probability of apprehension. A simple "expected loss" model would predict that deterrent effect would depend only on the result of multiplying the penalty by the probability of it occurring.
Silberman concluded that contrary to this model, the likelihood of punishment had a greater effect in most situations. Silberman also stated, "Crime does more than expose the weakness in social relationships. It undermines the social order itself, by destroying the assumptions on which it is based."
Silberman's book Crisis in the Classroom: The Remaking of American Education is regarded as one of the leading investigations into and critiques of the performance of the American educational system and has been praised for its scope and insight.
He was also the author of Crisis in Black and White and A Certain People: American Jews and Their Lives Today. Charles E. Silberman died on February 5, 2011 in Sarasota, Florida, aged 86.
