America’s criminal codes are so voluminous that they now bewilder not only the average citizen but also the average lawyer. Our courthouses are so clogged that there is no longer adequate time for trials. And our penitentiaries are overflowing with prisoners. In fact, America now has the highest per capita prison population in the world. This situation has many people wondering whether the American criminal justice system has become dysfunctional. A generation ago Harvard Law Professor Henry Hart Jr. published his classic article, “The Aims of the Criminal Law,” which set forth certain fundamental principles concerning criminal justice. In this book, leading scholars, lawyers, and judges critically examine Hart’s ideas, current legal trends, and whether the “first principles” of American criminal law are falling by the wayside. Policymakers, academics, and citizens alike will enjoy this lively discussion on the nature of crime and punishment, and how the choices we make in formulating criminal laws can impact liberty, security, and justice.

Excerpt from Reports of Cases Argued and Adjudged in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Vol. 3 C. having sold a tract of land to which K. had a claim, executed a single hill to K. for a certain sum in discharge of his claim to the land, to be paid out of the purchase-money. And the parties agreed that each should be present when the purchase-money should be paid, and receive his own part. K. gave notice to the purchaser not to pay his money to 0. but to himself; that he was willing to take him (the purchaser) for it. The purchaser afterwards failed, and was unable to pay the money. In an action by K. against 0. on the single bill, it was held that he was not entitled to recover. Error to the Common Pleas of Armstrong county. This was an action of debt upon a bond, in which Michael Campbell and Charles Campbell, executors of Charles Campbell, deceased, were plaintiffs, and George Knox was defendant. The facts of the case appear so fully in the opinion of his honor, who delivered that of the court, that they need not be again stated. White and Stannard, for plaintiffs in error. Fetterman, for defendant in error. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
