About This Book

The author warns that justice risks being subordinated to politics and calls for strict impartiality when judging political crimes, arguing that fairness protects both individuals and public order. He analyzes what constitutes a conspiracy, examines agents provocateurs, and critiques improper political influence on prosecutors and courts. He considers how publicity of trials should be limited to prevent passion and prejudice, outlines the legal meaning of complicity, and defends procedural safeguards for the accused. Ultimately he insists that upholding pure justice is necessary not only for rights but as prudent and effective policy.
