In The Abuse Excuse, famous attorney Alan Dershowitz comes out swinging against what he terms the abuse excuse, a tactic by which defendants claim a history of abuse as an excuse for violent behavior. In his introduction, Dershowitz argues that the abuse excuse not only affects the legal system, but is a symptom of society's willingness to abdicate responsibility. He makes a powerful case for his argument, listing many psychological conditions used as excuses for crimes. Dershowitz argues that acceptance of such arguments can only lead to anarchy and increased crime.
