Clarence Darrow is best known for defending the right to teach evolution in "The Scopes trial." Not so well known is his lifetime of service on behalf of victims of government persecution. In Resist Not Evil, Darrow presents a convincing case for abolishing the criminal justice system. Darrow argues that neither punishment nor prison reduces the crime rate, & the only reason for them is vengeance & cruelty. He points out that most crimes are committed against property by people who have been shut out of the economic system. This reprint of Darrow''s controversial essay could not be more timely; his ideas have lost none of their fire or relevance.

This book comes from the reflections and experience of more than forty years spent in court. Aside from the practice of my profession, the topics I have treated are such as have always held my interest and inspired a taste for books that discuss the human machine with its manifestations and the causes of its varied activity. I have endeavored to present the latest scientific thought and investigation bearing upon the question of human conduct. I do not pretend to be an original investigator, nor an authority on biology, psychology or philosophy. I have simply been a student giving the subject such attention as I could during a fairly busy life. No doubt some of the scientific conclusions stated are still debatable and may finally be rejected. The scientific mind holds opinions tentatively and is always ready to reexamine, modify or discard as new evidence comes to light.
