The Justice We Deserve: Beyond Retribution

Story0
Justice today often disguises punishment as fairness, yet leaves both victims and offenders trapped in cycles of pain. This book argues for a radical rethinking: true justice is not about retribution, but about understanding why crimes happen and preventing them from happening again. Through philosophical reflection, psychological insight, and critical analysis of modern courts and prisons, Boris Kriger exposes the failures of the current system and sketch the contours of a new one—justice that heals instead of harms, supports instead of condemns, and restores trust by restoring people.

Kensington, Philadelphia, is distinguished only by its poverty. It is home to Ryan, Giancarlos, and Emmanuel, three Puerto Rican children who live among the most marginalized families in the United States. This is the story of their coming-of-age, which is beset by violence—the violence of homelessness, hunger, incarceration, stray bullets, sexual and physical assault, the hypermasculine logic of the streets, and the drug trade. In Kensington, eighteenth birthdays are not rites of passage but statistical miracles.

Part muckraker, part adventurer, and part raconteur, Frazier beholds, captures, and occasionally reimagines the spirit of the American experience. He travels down South to examine feral hogs and learns that their presence in any county is a strong indicator that it votes Republican. He introduces us to a man who, when his house is hit by a supposed meteorite, hopes to "leverage" the space object into opportunity for his family, and a New York City police detective who is fascinated with rap-music-related crimes.
