How Thoughtful Torture Beats Plea Bargaining
Mike Huemer’s new Justice before the Law is predictably excellent. I’ll eventually discuss it in greater depth, but for now I’ll focus on Huemer’s critique of plea bargaining.

The main reason is that […] The post How Thoughtful Torture Beats Plea Bargaining appeared first on Econlib. read more
