Civil Disobedience or Current Perspectives in Forensic Psychology and Criminal Behavior

Civil Disobedience

Author: Henry David Thoreau

Originally published in 1849 as "Resistance to Civil Government," Thoreau's classic essay on resistance to the laws and acts of government that he considered unjust was largely ignored until the Twentieth Century when Mohanda Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr. and anti-Vietnam War activists applied Thoreau's principles.
