When Sexual Exploitation Is Fundamental to Police Corruption A new book provides a twist on the wrongful-conviction genre, showing how deep the rot can be when sexual violence is involved.

We are so grateful for this incredible review of INJUSTICE TOWN by @ricktulsky.bsky.social from Rachel Monroe and @newyorker.com.

"Tulsky’s book makes for a worthy entry in the canon of American injustice."

People of CT: The terrific Emily Bazelon will be my conversation partner tomorrow at RJ Julia in Madison CT. The topic narrowly will be my new book, but more broadly we’ll talk about how to protect the rule of law at a very fragile moment. Hope a large group can join. rjjulia.com/event/2026-0...
