Clarence Darrow is best known for defending the right o teach evolution in "the Scopes trial."  Not so well-known is his lifetime of service on behalf of labor dissidents and other victims of government persecution.  In Resist Not Evil, Darrow presents a convincing case for abolishing the criminal justice system.

This reprint of Darrow's controversial essay could not be more timely.  Everywhere, one hears the call for more prisons, more severe punishment.  Darrow argues for a radical new approach; his ideas have lost none of their fire or relevance.
