Drawing on his work as a defence lawyer, he examines jails, courts and the people who wield their power. These essays build a sharp case against answering harm with harm, challenging the belief that force is the surest way to keep order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDarrow also draws on Leo Tolstoy, who reads the Sermon on the Mount as a command never to return violence for violence. From punishment to war, Darrow follows what he sees as the same destructive habit. His alternative is patient kindness, even toward those who hurt others. This is a committed argument, not a balanced survey of opposing views.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForce and its failures\u003c\/strong\u003e – Question the old assumption that meeting harm with harm protects people and preserves order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePunishment under scrutiny\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow a defence lawyer's clear case against punishment as a cure for crime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside courts and prisons\u003c\/strong\u003e – Examine Darrow's unsettling claim that the jail becomes a school for crime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrom hatred to war\u003c\/strong\u003e – Trace his argument that the same reliance on force drives both imprisonment and war.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe challenge of kindness\u003c\/strong\u003e – Consider what it means to offer patient kindness even to people who cause harm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers curious about justice, punishment, pacifism and Tolstoy's ideas, especially those who enjoy a sharp, one-sided argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now and let Darrow challenge what you expect justice to do.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534559412572,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/01073_en_ebook-front_c04.jpg?v=1792174888","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/es\/products\/no-resistan-al-mal","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
