Law and Disorder is a brilliant and incisive analysis of the elaborate machinery that processes criminals and victims in American society. Jackson examines every major aspect of the criminal justice system --- police, prosecutors, parole, and even the politics of criminal legislation. What his study reveals are the separate rationales that produce an enormous and expensive enterprise that is not a system but a set of discrete and often antagonistic bureaucracies.
