Summary
This document is a page from a legal academic article (Minnesota Law Review) discussing the concept of 'underenforcement' in the criminal justice system, particularly regarding sexual assaults and corruption. It argues that underenforcement often stems from bias or favoritism and undermines the legitimacy of legal institutions. The document bears the name of David Schoen (one of Jeffrey Epstein's attorneys) and a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp, suggesting it was submitted as part of the congressional investigation into the handling of the Epstein case, likely to argue points regarding prosecutorial discretion or failure to prosecute.
