Criminal Justice in America
Pound recognises the dangers law faces when it does not keep pace with societal change. He points out that one aspect of the justice problem is a rigid mechanical approach that resists change, and the other dimension of the problem is that change, when it comes, results from the pressure of public opinion, which is not motivated by justice.
