Rule of law has vanished in America’s criminal justice system. Prosecutors decide whom to punish; most accused never face a jury; policing is inconsistent; plea bargaining is rampant; and draconian sentencing fills prisons with mostly minority defendants. A leading criminal law scholar looks to history for the roots of these problems—and solutions.

This critical yet honest appraisal of our criminal justice system addresses its strengths and its flaws—and makes recommendations for improvement. The American Criminal Justice System: How It Works, How It Doesn't, and How to Fix It calls attention to a criminal justice system that needs improvement. Author Gerhard Falk shows that the police themselves often violate the law; that prosecutors send innocent citizens to prison and even to death row; that defense attorneys take on cases they are not prepared to handle; that juries vote guilt or innocence on the basis of emotion, not facts; that judges are often failed attorneys or unscrupulous politicians; and that jails and prisons are too frequently warehouses of the poor. As background for his analysis, Falk discusses the history of the police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges, as well as the history of prisons and "the prison industrial complex." He also offers a devastating analysis of the death penalty and its practitioners. The book ends with recommendations for the improvement of our criminal justice system so that America can truly be, as our Supreme Court proclaims, a land of "Equal Justice under Law."

The author of this book documents with observations, personal experiences, and public records that the criminal justice system is not "blind" to race, gender, social class, economic status, social connections, place of residence and reputation of the defendant, the accuser, or the witnesses. Nor is the criminal justice system blind to the race, gender, and social status of the police, prosecutors, judges, jurors, or correctional officers and that discretionary justice often leads to injustice. In "American Justice System Uncovered" the author not only provides knowledge of the problems in the criminal justice system, but also solutions which serves as a source of motivation for public dialogue on how to elevate these problems in our system of justice or otherwise the need for reform and social change. This book will awaken you to many of the disparities in the American legal system and how you can help change them. Always remember that you are either part of the problem or part of the solution.
