Excellent critique of criminal justice system gone wrong

Bidinotto has put together one of the best one-stop resources on the criminal justice system. The book offers detailed criticism of our criminal justice system and sound fix-it proposals, endorsing the view that the criminal is *responsible* for his actions, and should be dealt with accordingly. Bidinotto, an essayist and journalist who has written for Reader's Digest and is currently on the staff of the Poughkeepsie-based Institute for Objectivst Studies, writes with particular incisiveness and clarity about these issues in essays providing the connective framework for the anthology. He proposes his own "retributive" theory of justice to displace the rehabilitation theories that discount the criminal's responsibility and have swamped the justice system since the 1960s. Other standout contributions include those by criminologist Stanton Samenow, and philosopher David Kelley. Although the name of Ayn Rand is never mentioned in the book, both Kelley and Bidinotto are clearly influenced by her conceptions of justice and individual responsibility. A must-read volume for anyone interested in what the problem is with our courts and prisons. ****
