Sari Krieger provides a novel analysis of prosecutorial discretion and the disincentives for prosecuting large, high-risk cases in the 2008 crisis. In contrast to conventional arguments, Incentivizing Injustice: The 2008 Financial Crisis and Prosecutorial Indiscretion examines the importance of institutional incentives in providing a robust explanation for the lack of criminalization of major executives, and in doing so, adds to our understanding of societal responses to white-collar and corporate criminality. --Henry N. Pontell, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York
