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.
PUBLISHED IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE INDEPENDENT INSTITUTE: The Independent Institute will promote the book through publicity campaign, online marketing through its website, and direct marketing to public affairs departments. They will also help book the author for appropriate speaking events.CONTRIBUTORS FROM VARIOUS DISCIPLINES AND ACADEMIA: This interdisciplinary book includes contributors from departments of economics, law, public policy and practitioners from think tanks (Brookings Institute) and government (US Department of Human Services) making this a well grounded argument that legal institutions need reform.
