Criminal justice was historically at the heart of liberal versions of the "social contract", in which people who were morally equal but materially unequal agreed society's rules. The crisis in collective life provoked by globalization reveals the violence behind this contract; the language of "war" and of sub-human "animals" denotes the status of those excluded from the mainstream. I argue that issues of criminal justice are not susceptible to technical fixes, but demand deeper, political solutions.
