Looking at why people break the law to promote political
advancement, Jarret S. Lovell’s book, "Crimes of Dissent: Civil
Disobedience, Criminal Justice, and the Politics of Conscience” offers
a history of the criminalization of dissent with first-person
accounts from activists. Bluestockings writes, "From animal rights to anti-abortion, and from
tax resistance to anti-poverty, please join Lowell for an engaged
discussion across the far flung movements that, in common, rely on good
old fashion law breaking".
