Title: Three Essays in Criminal Justice Summary: How could the New York Times call the grand jury's decision to no bill the indictment against officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, a "verdict"? How could federal appellate judges call it a "procedural shortcut" when a state judge, in a death penalty case, signs the state attorney general's proposed judicial opinion without even striking the word "proposed" or reviewing the full opinion? What do these incidents tell us about contemporary criminal justice? These essays explore these puzzles. The first, "Verdict and Illusion," begins to sketch the role of illusions in justice. The second, "A Singe Voice of Justice," interprets these procedural shortcuts through the lens of Homeric, agonistic combat. The third, "Reading Penal Theories and Institutions," offers a first reading of the newly published Foucault lectures on punishment practices, theories and institutions, delivered at the College de France in 1971-1972. (A French version of the latter essay is included as well). Details: New York: Columbia Law School, 2015. 50p.

Author: Harcourt, Bernard E. Title: The '73 Graft: Punishment, Political Economy, and the Genealogy of Morals Summary: In this essay, I explore the place of a genealogy of morals within the context of a history of political economy. More specifically, I investigate the types of moralization - of criminals and delinquents, of the disorderly, but also of political economic systems, of workers and managers, of rules and rule-breaking - that are necessary and integral to making a population accept new styles of political and economic governance, especially the punitive institutions that accompany modern political economies in the contemporary period. The marriage of political economy and a genealogy of morals: this essay explores how the moralization of certain groups of people has been necessary to render tolerable the great American paradox of laissez-faire and mass incarceration. How, in effect, practices of moralization are necessary to make tolerable the intolerable. Details: New York: Columbia Law School, 2015. 19p.
