From individual accountability to TV violence to the death penalty and the politics of crime control, Kaminer shows that our discussions of criminal justice have been emotionally and demagogically driven and that knowledge has become irrelevant--for liberals and conservatives alike.

There's something here to offend everybody. From the "abuse excuse" of the Menendez and Bobbitt cases, to middle-class fear of crime and the death penalty, to victims rights and concerns about TV violence, to federal anti-crime legislation and the politics of crime control, Kaminer shows that our discussions of criminal justice have been emotionally and demagogically driven and that knowledge has become irrelevant—for liberals and conservatives alike. --with a bonus offer--
