The Roots of Justice : Crime and Punishment in Alameda County, California, 1870-1910 PDF
by Lawrence M. Friedman, Robert V. Percival
Part of the Studies in Legal History series
Description
Focusing on a single county at a time when the population grew from 24,000 to 246,000, the authors combine statistical analysis of documentary sources, contemporary newspaper accounts, and exploration in criminal case files to give a detailed reconstruction of the operations of the county's entire criminal justice system. By tracing the process from arrest to trial, sentencing, and punishment, this study will have a profound effect on our perception of American criminal justice.
