In response, Objectivist Robert James Bidinotto has compiled a book being hailed by law enforcement experts and crime victims as the definitive modern work on the subject of crime and punishment. Criminal Justice? The Legal System Versus Individual Responsibility is a powerhouse collection of essays by 14 distinguished thinkers. They explode decades of excuse-making about the "root causes" of criminal behavior -- and offer tough, no-nonsense reforms for our failing criminal justice system. Edited by Robert James Bidinotto, an award-winning Reader's Digest investigative journalist, Criminal Justice? is the first comprehensive analysis of crime to explore the causes -- and consequences -- of our legal system's abandonment of individual responsibility as its underlying principle. The result is a radical reassessment of contemporary thinking about justice and crime. But more than a dissection of what is wrong with our criminal justice system, Criminal Justice? outlines a comprehensive crime-fighting agenda for the coming years. Criminal Justice? is essential reading for public officials, law enforcement officers, social scholars, crime victims -- and every citizen seeking ways to stop the bloodshed on our streets. -- * * FS REVIEW: Thankfully Bidinotto's involvement with the Ayn Rand cult, which reflects his inability to handle theoretical issues, has not crimped his ability to deal with the practical problems of crime with a measure of common sense and appropriate contempt for the prevailing social science excuse factory and enthusiasm for practical solutions. Isn't it that way with all of her disciples, and the master of cheap philosophical ideas herself? -- with a bonus offer-- ., Foundation for Economic Education, 1995, 6, New York, New York, U.S.A.: Raven Press.
