Ghosts Of The Disciplinary Machine: Lee Harvey Oswald, Life-History, And The Truth Of Crime, Jonathan Simon
Ghosts Of The Disciplinary Machine: Lee Harvey Oswald, Life-History, And The Truth Of Crime, Jonathan Simon
Jonathan S Simon
Thirty-four years ago, the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, popularly known as the Warren Commission, published its famous report. The Commission's most famous conclusion, that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shot and killed President John F. Kennedy, has been the subject of ceaseless public debate. Such attention, of course, is understandable. The theory of a "lone gunman" seems too mundane an explanation for the closest crime a republic can have to regicide. The overwhelming popular interest in the Commission's judgment, however, has had the unfortunate consequence of deflecting analysis away from the Commission itself as a political …

Ballad Of A Thin Man: Sociolegal Studies In A Time Of Postmodern Crisis, Jonathan Simon
Jonathan S Simon
This article comments on a speech by Boaventura de Sousa Santos which was addressed to the Law and Society Association during its Annual Meeting on June 3, 1995 in Toronto, Canada, about the metaphors of a new conception of law. According to Santos, what is taking place, as of 1995, is simultaneously a crisis of subjectivity and government. The project of emancipation, Santos suggests, has collapsed into regulation. Santos offers three metaphors for the kinds of knowledge and law which may facilitate the construction of postmodern subjectivities. In the frontier, the baroque, and the South, Santos finds emancipatory possibilities. He …

The New Penology: Notes On The Emerging Strategy Of Corrections And Its Implications, Malcolm M. Feeley, Jonathan Simon
The New Penology: Notes On The Emerging Strategy Of Corrections And Its Implications, Malcolm M. Feeley, Jonathan Simon
Jonathan S Simon
The new penology argues that an important new language of penology is emerging. This new language, which has its counterparts in other areas of the law as well, shifts focus away from the traditional concerns of the criminal law and criminology, which have focused on the individual, and redirects it to actuarial consideration of aggregates. This shift has a number of important implications: It facilitates development of a vision or model of a new type of criminal process that embraces increased reliance on imprisonment and that merges concerns for surveillance and custody, that shifts away from a concern with punishing …

The Ideological Effects Of Actuarial Practices, Jonathan Simon
The Ideological Effects Of Actuarial Practices, Jonathan Simon
Jonathan S Simon
Over the last century, there has been significant growth of practices that distribute costs and benefits to individuals based on statistical knowledge about the population. These actuarial practices, like insurance premium setting and standardized testing in educational admissions, are successful largely because they allow power to be exercised more effectively and at lower political cost. At the same time, they generate ideological effects that have the potential to transform the way individuals understand themselves and their groups. In a 1978 case, 'City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power' v. 'Manhart,' the Supreme Court considered a challenge to the …

How Should We Punish Murder, Jonathan Simon
How Should We Punish Murder, Jonathan Simon
Jonathan S Simon
One of the “law jobs” of the law of murder is to regulate the level of “penal heat” produced in society by violent crime and its state punishment. The history of the law of murder in both England and the United States can be read as a series of adjustments aimed at ventilating penal heat under particular historical conditions with the aim of protecting increasingly sensitive democratic political institutions from the damage caused by excessive penal heat. In distinguishing murder and manslaughter, and later recognizing degrees of murder and later still the potential for early parole release, the law of …
