When the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was drafted in 1945 French Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain observed We agree on these rights providing we are not asked why With the why the dispute begins The world since then has continued to agree to disagree fearing that an open discussion of the divergent rationales for human rights would undermine the consensus of the Declaration Is it possible however that current failures to protect human rights may stem from this tacit agreement to avoid addressing the underpinnings of human rightsThis consequential volume presents leading scholars activists and officials from four continents who dare to discuss the why behind human rights Appraising the current situation from diverse religious perspectives Jewish Protestant Orthodox Muslim Confucian and secular humanist the contributors openly address the question whether God is a necessary part of human rights Despite their widely varying commitments and approaches the authors affirm that an investigation into the why of human rights need not devolve into irreconcilable conflictContributorsKhaled Abou El FadlBarbra BarnettElizabeth M BucarJean Bethke ElshtainRobert P GeorgeVigen GuroianLouis HenkinCourtney W HowlandDavid NovakSari NusseibehMartin PaloušRobert A SeipleMax L StackhouseCharles VillaVicencioAnthony C Yu

This is the first book to explore in detail crime committed by the general public Thomas Gabor challenges the prevailing stereotype of the criminal by documenting the extent to which ordinary citizens those who are not habitually in conflict with the law violate the law exhibit dishonesty or engage in actions harmful to their fellow citizens He shows that socalled respectable citizens account for a large proportion of many kinds of crime theft fraud tax evasion assault sex offences business scams political and corporate crime environmental crime technological crime and mass lawlessness such as looting and vigilantism He also discusses crime by police and other authorities in the justice system Case studies provide concrete examples and raise crucial questions about law enforcementBy discussing the justifications and excuses ordinary people provide for their transgressions Gabor draws a parallel between those justifications and the ones provided by chronic or hardcore criminals He shows through experimental and other evidence that members of the public are often not firmly committed to societys laws or the legal system Using existing theories in conjunction with an original interdisciplinary theoretical model he shows why criminality is so widespread and why it varies from person to person and from one milieu to another He shows why some crimes are more prevalent than others and why some people are more immune to being labelled and processed as criminals within the criminal justice system He concludes with a discussion of approaches for dealing with widespread criminality
