Quotation of the Day for February 11, 2012



"As trust diminishes among individuals, bureaucracies, particularly legal bureaucracies, become more integral to the maintenance of social order and ultimately to the existence of society itself. In this context, law can be viewed as being inversely related to personal trust. With respect to trust, bureaucracy can be viewed as the antithesis of community."

- J. Peter Cordella, "Reconciliation and the Mutualist Model of Community." In Criminology as Peacemaking, eds. Harold Pepinsky and Richard Quinney.
