How the police create an imaginary criminal gang to trick homicide suspects into a confession and a prison cell
There are people in prison who got away with murder until they told the boss of a powerful criminal gang all about it. When the handcuffs were snapped on, the killers learned they'd been duped, that "Mr. Big" was actually an undercover police officer. These killers ended up with lots of time to think about how tricky police can be.

Seldom is there accountability when they are, in fact, not always good.
Rethinking Justice: Inside America's Movement for Prosecution Reform introduces a newly minted generation of prosecutors, intent on holding...

La justice, rendue par les hommes pour les hommes, en est le symbole. Comment pouvons-nous accuser une personne sans preuves formelles tout en laissant en liberté un délinquant dont les éléments de preuve sont accablants ? Cette ambiguïté alimente l'injustice sociale déjà présente dans notre société.

Centuries of foul play in the Department of Justice (DOJ) in this country, fortified through deceptive practices, has temporized the freedom of far too many innocent people with puritanical, senseless prison sentences.
This reasoning is laced with a mythology rich in ideals that are spoon-fed to the American people by this country's political leaders-judges are infallible and neutral; the objective of all prosecutors is justice; public defenders...

Si l'on peut déceler dans cette affirmation une certaine part d'exagération - après tout, le droit et la biologie moléculaire demeurent des disciplines bien distinctes -, une formation en droit ouvre en effet de nombreux horizons de carrière, en plus de contribuer à l'épanouissement intellectuel des personnes qui y ont accès. En outre, cette formation a parfois des effets...

The stories we tell in our attempt to make sense of the world, our myths and religion, literature and philosophy, science and art, are the comforting vehicles we use to transmit ideas of order. But beneath the quest for order lies the uneasy dread of fundamental disorder. True chaos is hard to imagine and even harder to represent, especially without some recourse to the familiar coherency of order. In this book, Martin Meisel considers the long effort...
