The topic of “evil” means different things depending upon context. For some, it is an archaic term, while others view it as a central problem of ethics, psychology, or politics. Coupled with state power, the problem of evil takes on a special salience for most observers. When governments do evil –in whatever way we define the term – the scale of harm increases, sometimes exponentially. The evils of state violence, then, demand our attention and concern. Yet the linkage of evil with state power does not resolve the underlying question of how to understand the concepts that we invoke when we use the term. Instead, the question becomes what evil means in the context of and in relation to state power. The fifteen essays in this book bring multiple perspectives to bear on the problems of state-sponsored evil and violence, and on the ways in which law enables or responds to them. The approaches and conclusions articulated by the various contributors sometimes complement and sometimes stand in tension with each other, but as a whole they contribute to our ongoing effort to understand the characteristics and workings of state power, and our need to grapple with the harm it causes.

Dred Scott and the Problem of Constitutional Evil , first published in 2006, concerns what is entailed by pledging allegiance to a constitutional text and tradition saturated with concessions to evil. The Constitution of the United States was originally understood as an effort to mediate controversies between persons who disputed fundamental values, and did not offer a vision of the good society. In order to form a 'more perfect union' with slaveholders, late-eighteenth-century citizens fashioned a constitution that plainly compelled some injustices and was silent or ambiguous on other questions of fundamental right. This constitutional relationship could survive only as long as a bisectional consensus was required to resolve all constitutional questions not settled in 1787. Dred Scott challenges persons committed to human freedom to determine whether antislavery northerners should have provided more accommodations for slavery than were constitutionally strictly necessary or risked the enormous destruction of life and property that preceded Lincoln's new birth of freedom.

Excerpt from Evils and Remedies in the Administration of the Criminal Law: Address, Delivered Before the American Academy of Political and Social Science at Philadelphia on April 9th, 1910 Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: None of the many difficult problems that confront the present generation is more urgent or perplexing than the reform of the administration of the criminal law in our country. Our wealth and importance in the financial world have increased by such leaps and bounds that we have completely outgrown the laws which were enacted to meet the earlier conditions in our history. It will be no easy task to secure the changes that are necessary to meet and curb the cupidity of the criminal rich, nor to enforce those laws when enacted. Strange to say the chief obstruction to the administration of justice in criminal cases lies in the undue shelter afforded by our Constitution. The prescribed remedies against crimes of violence are, on the whole, fairly administered, though there are still many abuses capable of correction. It is in the attempts to punish the crimes born of greed and cunning in the financial world that the machinery of Justice has broken down and the law is administered in a spasmodic and hysterical way.
