This volume is the most comprehensive reference book on community
sentiment available. The classic book about community sentiment is
Norm Finkel's "Commonsense Justice: Jurors' Notions of the Law"
(1995). A similarly influential book called "Justice, Liability,
and Blame" was published at the same time, examining lay sentiment
about a variety of criminal issues and suggesting ways in which the
substantive criminal law could be reformed in light of such lay
responses (Robinson & Darley, 1995). Although these books were
influential and important for their time (and since), this Handbook
expands significantly on them, both by updating research since that
time and broadens the scope of topic areas to ones that are not
limited to trial and criminal justice issues. Each chapter is
original/unpublished and focuses on an area related to
children/families, many of which are "hot topic" areas in the news
and courts today. For instance, the U.S. Supreme Court decided a
case in June 2012 about the constitutionality of "life without
parole" for juvenile offenders-a topic discussed in the Fass and
Miora chapter. Thus, it is of interest to those interested in
family law topics as well.
