The Perils Of Public Opinion, Deborah W. Denno
Hofstra Law Review
This article discusses the significance of Paul Robinson’s and John Darley’s book, Justice, Liability, and Blame: Community Views and the Criminal Law (“Justice”), and why the book is an excellent springboard for further research comparing community standards and legal codes.

Comparing Race And Sex Discrimination In Custody Cases, Katharine T. Bartlett
Comparing Race And Sex Discrimination In Custody Cases, Katharine T. Bartlett
