And yet we keep relying on harsh punishment against crime despite its continued failure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessors Benjamin van Rooij and Adam Fine draw on decades of research to uncover the behavioral code: the root causes and hidden forces that drive human behavior and our responses to society’s laws. In doing so, they present the first accessible analysis of behavioral jurisprudence, which will fundamentally alter how we understand the connection between law and human behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Behavioral Code\u003c\/i\u003e offers a necessary and different approach to battling crime and injustice that is based in understanding the science of human misconduct—rather than relying on our instinctual drive to punish as a way to shape behavior.
