Comparative Environmental Federalism
The proper division of responsibility for environmental protection between national and state governments has long been the subject of fierce debate. During the 1970s the United States Congress decided to shift the most important environmental responsibilities from state governments to the federal government. The main reason for this decision was to prevent a 'race to the bottom' in that states competing for industries could otherwise be lax in i…
Same dream, different beds
The Processing of Felonies in the Superior Court of Alameda County 1880–1974
It hardly needs to be said that public opinion is much agitated by the problem of crime. Polls show that people rank crime as one of the most serious issues facing society. A constantly growing amount of effort and research has gone into the question of what to do about crime. It is only natural that the interest in crime should spill over into many disciplines, including history, though, until recently, very few studies focussed on this chapter …

The Roots of Justice
Mixed Reviews for "Criminal Justice"--The Longest-Running Morality Play in Oakland
The simplest way to sum up my reaction to The Roots of Justice is to say that I wish that I had written it. Basically, this means that I am impressed, perhaps a little jealous. While a number of us historians have dealt with some combination of cops, crooks, courts, custodial institutions, and other constituent elements of criminal justice, no one has described any given system as a whole. This would be an important book even were it badly done; …
Crime and History
A Tale of Two Courts
American scholarship has lavished most of its attention on appellate courts, paying little attention to courts on the bottom rungs of the ladder. This is true of studies of both past and present courts. But the trial court is the court with the most direct contact with the man in the street, for both civil and criminal matters. Here he meets the law face-to-face. And, although federal courts are certainly important, state trial courts handle by f…
