City of Courts: Socializing Justice in Progressive Era Chicago - Cambridge Historical Studies in American Law and Society
Willrich, Michael (Brandeis University, Massachusetts)
In this 2003 book, Willrich uncovers the contested origins and paradoxical consequences of two protean concepts in the cosmopolitan cities of industrial America at the turn of the twentieth century: the modern ideas of social responsibility for crime and the belief that the law should aim for social, not merely individual, justice.
