Description:"A good book about crime to throw at people who clamor to throw the book at criminals." -- The Detroit NewsFrom our decrying of ”the abuse excuse” to our cheers of "Free the Juice,” our reactions to violent crime fluctuate wildly. Expanding on her well-known ideas about self-help and the American psyche, Wendy Kaminer shows us how pop-psychology and religious fervor vie with law and rationality in our courtrooms and in our minds. She doesn’t offer up any easy solutions; rather, with her trademark epigrammatic brilliance, she gives us an alarming picture of the emotional needs and cultural forces behind our righteous proclamations about crime and punishment."Wendy Kaminer takes the covers off America's radically biased judicial system and exposes a culture with a love-hate relationship with violence. And she takes no prisoners." -- The Philadelphia TribuneWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
