Reviews

“Hatcher, a professor of law and advocate for social justice, delivers a well-researched, scholarly, disturbing synthesis of social history and legal treatise, tracking the long-term monetization of the justice system. . . . A useful, bleak exposé of a little-understood legal labyrinth constructed to harm the most vulnerable.” * Kirkus Reviews *
