Harsh Justice
Criminal Punishment and the Widening Divide between America and Europe
In this work of comparative legal history, the author argues that the answer lies in America's triumphant embrace of a non-hierarchical social system and distrust of state power which have contributed to a law of punishment that is more willing to degrade offenders.
