Much Respect
The Debate Link welcomes the new blog Black Prof to the blogosphere with a spotlight post. The focus is on an article by BP contributor and GW Law Professor Paul Butler: Much Respect: Toward a Hip-Hop Theory of Punishment, 56 STAN. L. REV. 983 (2004).
It’s actually a great article–unfortunately, it’s not available online. But it is a serious and readable piece that raises interesting questions on how we should construct the criminal justice system so that it can punish wrongdoers without ripping apart poor and minority communities.
