Must read for anyone interested in the law J. LaRamie This is an interesting read of a seminal work about the law and criminal justice. Some parts can be tough going due to the antiquated language, but there are bits of wisdom to be found. The e-book version looks shorter than the paper version because there are no empty spaces between the end of one chap. Five Stars Great Read especially in the times we are in now.. "School Book" according to Taryn. Needed it for school
