Mr. Lynch believes that hate crimes are superfluous because the crimes are already illegal, do not prevent crime, and that hate crimes lead to a protected class of citizens. Ms. Stachelberg argued that hate crimes laws are a deterrent, and cited data that show hate crimes have decreased since the laws were enacted. She also said they are helpful at the local level because when a crime is classified as a hate crime, local law enforcement officials can apply for Justice Department assistance in investigating and prosecution.

In his book criminal defense attorney Harvey Silverglate explains how the body of federal law has grown to such an extent that the average white collar worker can commit several federal crimes a day and not know it. The author argues that the executive branch uses the law to gain greater control over upper-middle class and wealthy professionals. He blames the vagueness of laws that allow so much room for interpretation that people can not figure out how to not commit a crime and are vulnerable to sudden, arbitrary prosecution. Tim Lynch talked about the book he edited, [In the Name of Justice: Leading Experts Reexamine the Classic Article "The Aims of the Criminal Law"] (Cato Institute; February 2009). This collection of essays considers changes in the theoretical underpinnings of criminal law on the 50th anniversary of the article by Harvard law professor Henry M. Hart, Jr. Mr. Lynch talked about the basic question of what should be a crime. He maintains that the justice system has drifted away from basic constitutional principles and that the runaway growth of the criminal law has been accompanied by the dilution of constitutional rights and safeguards.
