Culture of Vengeance and the Fate of American Justice

Auteur: Aladjem, Terry K. (Harvard University, Massachusetts)
Editeur: Cambridge University Press
From the return of the death penalty to the wars on terror and in Iraq, Americans demand retribution and moral certainty; they assert the 'rights of victims' and make pronouncements against 'evil'. Terry Aladjem argues that this dangerously authoritarian turn has its origins in the tradition of liberal justice itself.
