Punishment, participatory democracy, and the jury / [electronic resource] Albert W. Dzur. New York ; Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2012. 1 online resource. Studies in penal theory and philosophy Includes bibliographical references and index. Focusing contemporary democratic theory on the neglected topic of punishment, this book argues for increased civic engagement in criminal justice as an antidote to the American penal state. It considers how the jury may serve as a participatory institution that gathers and utilizes citizen's juridical capabilities rather than merely expressing unreflective public opinion.
