City of Courts Socializing Justice in Progressive Era Chicago

What could be more "liberal" than the modern idea of social responsibility for crimeo that crime is less the product of free will than of poverty and other social forces beyond the individual's control? And what could be more "progressive" than the belief that the law should aim for social, not merely individual, justice? This work of social, cultural, and legal history uncovers the contested origins and paradoxical consequences of the two protean concepts in the cosmopolitan cities of industrial America at the turn of the twentieth century.Willrich, Michael is the author of 'City of Courts Socializing Justice in Progressive Era Chicago' with ISBN 9780521794039 and ISBN 052179403X.
