Noted criminologist James Q. Wilson delivers a compelling and controversial explanation of why our legal system does not work. Citing the Menendez Brothers and O.J. Simpson, Wilson exposes how "expert" witnesses and "mitigating circumstance" defenses have diminished our capacity to discriminate between right and wrong in the courtroom--allowing defendants to shirk responsibility and blame society for their actions.
