The United States is in the midst of a significant re-evaluation of
its criminal justice system, with increasing calls for reforming or
defunding the police and efforts to curb mass incarceration. But
focusing on the public criminal justice system paints an incomplete
picture of how we address criminal activity. InĀ Private
Criminal Justice, Ric Simmons shows how significant amounts of
criminal activity are detected by private police and how many
disputes are settled, not in public courts, but through informal
agreements between the victim and the accused or through
adjudicative procedures run by private institutions. In this timely
and eye-opening book, Simmons examines the vast, diverse, and
under-appreciated private criminal justice system, suggesting
reforms that can make these private responses more fair and
revealing lessons the private criminal justice system can teach
reformers of the public criminal justice system.
