The Collapse of American Criminal Justice

The rule of law has vanished in America’s criminal justice system. Prosecutors now decide whom to punish and how severely. Almost no one accused of a crime will ever face a jury. Inconsistent policing rampant plea bargaining overcrowded courtrooms and ever more draconian sentencing have produced a gigantic prison population with black citizens the primary defendants and victims of crime. In this passionately argued book the leading criminal law scholar of his generation looks to history for the roots of these problems—and for their solutions.

The Collapse of American Criminal Justice takes us deep into the dramatic history of American crime—bar fights in nineteenth-century Chicago New Orleans bordellos Prohibition and decades of murderous lynching. Digging into these crimes and the strategies that attempted to control them Stuntz reveals the costs of abandoning local democratic control. The system has become more centralized with state legislators and federal judges given increasing power. The liberal Warren Supreme Court’s emphasis on procedures not equity joined hands with conservative insistence on severe punishment to create a system that is both harsh and ineffective.

What would get us out of this Kafkaesque world? More trials with local juries; laws that accurately define what prosecutors seek to punish; and an equal protection guarantee like the one that died in the 1870s to make prosecution and punishment less discriminatory. Above all Stuntz eloquently argues Americans need to remember again that criminal punishment is a necessary but terrible tool to use effectively and sparingly.

The Origins of Political Order: From Prehuman Times to the French Revolution

Virtually all human societies were once organized tribally yet over time most developed new political institutions which included a central state that could keep the peace and uniform laws that applied to all citizens. Some went on to create governments that were accountable to their constituents. We take these institutions for granted but they are absent or are unable to perform in many of today’s developing countries—with often disastrous consequences for the rest of the world.

Francis Fukuyama author of the bestselling The End of History and the Last Man and one of our most important political thinkers provides a sweeping account of how today’s basic political institutions developed. The first of a major two-volume work The Origins of Political Order begins with politics among our primate ancestors and follows the story through the emergence of tribal societies the growth of the first modern state in China the beginning of the rule of law in India and the Middle East and the development of political accountability in Europe up until the eve of the French Revolution.

Drawing on a vast body of knowledge—history evolutionary biology archaeology and economics—Fukuyama has produced a brilliant provocative work that offers fresh insights on the origins of democratic societies and raises essential questions about the nature of politics and its discontents.
