Yo! Liberals!

You Call This Progress?

Crime, Race, Sex, Faith, Law and the Culture War

by Karl Spence

“One can imagine living in a society in which the shared values of the people, reinforced by the operation of religious, educational, and communal organizations concerned with character formation, would produce a citizenry less criminal than ours is now without diminishing to any significant degree the political liberties we cherish. Indeed, we can do more than imagine it; we can recall it.”    

James Q. Wilson
