Recenzje

This is a richly detailed account of an understudied constitutional clause that presents an innovative argument for its reinvigoration. Logan's work directly contributes to legal and historical scholarship on American constitutional and criminal law, but political scientists, sociologists, and criminologists interested in criminal justice reform will be interested in his prescription to use the provision to check punitive lawmaking...As research grows exploring the problems of American criminal justice, The Ex Post Facto Clause is a noteworthy contribution advancing a novel argument to reinterpret an oft-ignored constitutional tool to constrain punitive lawmaking.
