Coercion To Compromise
Examines the origins of the controversial practice of plea bargaining, a procedure that appears to reward the guilty. Contrary to popular perception of plea bargaining as an innovation or corruption of the post-World War II years, this study aims to show that the practice emerged early in the American Republic.
