The Culture of Vengeance and the Fate of American Justice
Aladjem, Terry K. (Harvard University, Massachusetts)
From the return of the death penalty to the wars on terror and in Iraq, Americans demand retribution and moral certainty; they assert the 'rights of victims' and make pronouncements against 'evil'. Terry Aladjem argues that this dangerously authoritarian turn has its origins in the tradition of liberal justice itself.
