Criminal Justice in Divided America
Post-election riots and the dilemmas of democratic policing
A Pattern of Violence
The Problems With Prosecutors
Most scholarship on prosecutors in the United States is diagnostic, prescriptive, or both; the motivating questions are, What is the problem with prosecutors, and how do we fix it? Answering those questions has been difficult, in part because there are at least seven different problems with American prosecutors. Six of those problems are relatively familiar: the power of prosecutors, the discretion they exercise, the illegality in which they too …
Prosecutors and Democracy
Focusing on the relationship between prosecutors and democracy, this volume throws light on key questions about prosecutors and the role they should play in liberal self-government. Internationally distinguished scholars discuss how prosecutors can strengthen democracy, how they sometimes undermine it, and why it has proven so challenging to hold prosecutors accountable while insulating them from politics. The contributors explore the different w…

Cocaine, Race, and Equal Protection
Most agree that equal protection should guard against laws that disproportionately burden members of a disempowered minority group because of majority prejudice. In this essay, Professor Sklansky argues that equal protection doctrine in its current form fails to achieve this objective. Professor Sklansky reaches this conclusion through an examination of the manner in which courts have upheld the constitutionality of the mandatory federal sentence…
