Beschreibung:
The Pursuit of Justice is a realistic yet hopeful analysis of how the law works in practice rather than in theory. The multi-chapter discussion recognizes that decision makers in the law - judges, lawyers, juries, police, forensic experts and more - respond systematically to the incentive structures with which they are confronted.
By the finest contributors The Pursuit of Justice is a realistic yet hopeful analysis of how the law works in practice rather than in theory.
