Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians, sociologists, criminologists, and law scholars explore the degree to which the institutions of criminal justice are responsible for changes in the crime rate such as the sudden spike after World War II and the reduction of the past few years. Among the perspectives are age and homicide in different national contexts, crime and capitalization in the Czech Republic, trial by jury and the legitimacy of the courts, and governing through crime. The 12 essays were presented at an October 1995 conference at Stanford Law School. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
