[§845-1]  Findings and purpose.  The
legislature finds that a substantial and disproportionate amount of serious
crime is committed against the people by a relatively small number of multiple
and repeat felony offenders, commonly known as career criminals.  In enacting
this chapter, the legislature intends to support increased efforts by
prosecuting attorneys' offices to prosecute career criminals through
organizational and operational techniques that have been proven effective in
selected counties in other states. [L 1979, c 104, pt of §1]
