Review of To Serve and Protect: Privatization and Community in Criminal Justice by Bruce Benson

This is the most important book on public policy to be published in a long time. Benson takes on the most pervasive government activity, the criminal justice system, and addresses the critical issue of our high crime rate. There are no clear “academic” solutions to this problem, but Benson presents a clear and sensible solution derived from the insights of Austrian economics—the privatization of the criminal justice system.
