Read an excerpt from The Fear of Too Much Justice: Race, Poverty, and the Persistence of Inequality in the Criminal Courts by renowned death penalty lawyer Stephen B. Bright and legal scholar James Kwak. Called “a passionate and eye-opening behind-the-scenes account of the world of criminal justice and the lives impacted by the system’s injustices” by Booklist, The Fear of Too Much Justice offers a heart-wrenching overview of how the criminal legal system fails to live up to the values of equality and justice. With examples from around the country of places that are making progress toward justice and call for courts and legislatures to overcome their fear of too much justice and provide a full measure of justice for everyone, this book is a “a clear and poignant indictment of criminal injustice in America” (John Grisham).
