John Kaplan (1929 – November 25, 1989) was an American legal scholar, social scientist, social justice advocate, popular law professor, and author.[1][2] He was a leading authority in the field of criminal law, and was widely known for his legal analyses of some of the deepest social problems in the United States.[1][3] He was known for his work linking sociological research with legal policies, and limiting academic legal theory with real-world sociological data.[3] He was an advocate for ending criminal prohibitions on private behavior such as drug use, arguing that these laws only made any problems worse.[2]
