Author(s): Kenneth Prewitt*+

Address: 65 Fifth Avenue, Room 230, New York, New York, 10003, USA
Keywords: Census
Abstract:

It is not good for census operations, or for public confidence in census counts, to subject census-taking to strong partisan attacks. We will discuss specific ways in which the statistical community can help the country to move away from the heightened partisan atmosphere that now surrounds the decennial census.
