California's three-strikes law, for instance, didn't emerge from a reasoned debate over the wisdom of condemning three-time offenders to life in prison but from the impassioned pleas of a father whose daughter, Kimber Reynolds, was murdered by career criminals. Megan's Law (requiring released sex-offenders to publicly disclose their offense), Katie's Law (providing money to track sex offenders) and a host of similar measures share the provenance of narrow, private...
