Three Felonies A Day

In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate explores the alarming reality that the average American unknowingly commits multiple federal crimes daily, due to the vast and ambiguous nature of modern federal criminal laws. He argues that these laws, which have surged in number and complexity, create a system where anyone can be prosecuted for even the most innocuous actions. Silverglate emphasizes that this phenomenon poses a threat not just to certain professions or social classes, but to the very foundation of constitutional democracy itself.
