DESCRIPTION:
"Couldn't put it down!" according to Chester J. Mattingly. I really enjoyed this book. It was a very insightful look into the mind of the authro Dominick Dunn. This book reminded me of another book that I just finshed, and thought was well written, U.S. Customs, Badge of Dishonor.

The economically deprived come into contact with the criminal court system in disproportionate number. This collection of original, interactive essays, written from a variety of ideological perspectives, explores some of the more troubling questions and ethical dilemmas inherent in this situation. The contributors, including well-known legal and political philosophers Philip Pettit, George Fletcher, and Jeremy Waldron, examine issues such as heightened vulnerability, indigent representation, and rotten social background defenses.
