Working out Duty in the Lawbreaker Justice System

With this collection of essays, Jack Kamerman presents the first continual evaluation of one of the foundations of the operation of the criminal justice system: the problem of responsibility for actions and, as a repercussion, the concern of responsibility. Assaulting the problem on various levels, the essayists look initially at the assumptions made by criminal justice institutions concerning transgressor obligation, then turn to the views of offenders on the causes of their own actions and to the repercussions of culprits either to accept or reject duty. Understanding the scenarios under which people either range themselves from or welcome responsibility makes it possible for criminologists to make grounded recommendations for reordering responsibility in the criminal justice system and, more generally, for restoring a sense of obligation to companies, occupations, and society.
