1000 Dogs (Klotz) by Raymond Merritt, Miles Barth

Robinson (law, Northwestern U.) and Darley (psychology, Princeton U.) examine the shared intuitive notions of justice among the general population and compare the main principles against those embedded in current US criminal codes, citing examples involving the justified use of force, insanity, omission liability, entrapment, multiple offenses, and other issues. They also discuss the proper role of community standards in formulating legal doctrine, and conclude that laws that ignore community views lose their moral authority and are less often complied with.
