Gideon's promise : a public defender movement to transform criminal justice
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Gideon v. Wainwright promises that all who are accused of a crime are afforded representation. Yet the public defender system is set up to incentivize speed rather than justice. Combining wisdom drawn from over a dozen years as a public defender and cutting-edge research in the fields of organizational and cultural psychology, Jonathan Rapping reveals the pervasive issues inherent in our current system of public defense and lays the foundation for how model public defense programs should work to ensure equal justice and end mass incarceration. --,Provided by publisher.
