Description
Pasquale De Marco begins by examining the role of the media in shaping public opinion about crime and justice. He argues that the media’s sensationalistic coverage of crime has created a climate of fear and mistrust that makes it difficult for the justice system to function properly. He also criticizes the media for its role in promoting celebrity justice, a system in which celebrities are treated differently than ordinary citizens by the justice system.
Pasquale De Marco then turns his attention to the high cost of justice. He argues that the exorbitant fees charged by defense attorneys and the financial burden on victims and their families are making it impossible for many people to get justice. He also criticizes the plea bargain system, which he says is often used to pressure innocent people into pleading guilty to crimes they did not commit.
In the second half of the book, Pasquale De Marco proposes a number of reforms to address the problems facing the justice system. He calls for a more diverse and representative jury system, an end to the death penalty, and a reduction in mass incarceration. He also proposes a number of reforms to the plea bargain system and the way that defense attorneys are paid.
Pasquale De Marco concludes by arguing that the future of justice in America depends on the people. He calls on citizens to become more involved in the justice system and to demand reforms that will make it fairer and more just for all.
The People’s Court: A Critical Examination is a powerful and provocative book that challenges us to rethink the way we think about crime and justice in America. Pasquale De Marco offers a clear-eyed assessment of the problems facing our justice system and proposes bold reforms to make it fairer and more just for all.
