American criminal justice may be one of the best known - and most
influential - systems of criminal justice in the world, but also
the least understood: countless films and television series portray
American police officers, prosecutors and lawyers, but over 95
percent of criminal matters result in guilty pleas, and trials are
becoming vanishingly scarce as people accused of crime choose to
strike a deal with increasingly powerful prosecutors. Sentencing
'reform' has led to a burgeoning prison population that is by far
the highest among economically advanced countries. Meanwhile,
American prosecutors have gained increasing (and largely unchecked)
power to apply US criminal laws to worldwide corporations and
individuals with little or no connection with the country. American
Criminal Justice: An Introduction provides a readable,
comprehensive review of the American criminal process behind these
and other problems.
