Harris’s first book –Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer(roughly translated: “Anti -crime in a smart way: the plan to help society safer”) – published in 2010, when she was electing the Justice Minister of California.
The allegations that some parts of this book are the religion appeared in October 2024, just a few weeks before the gamePresidential Election2024.
Specifically, Christopher Ruco, a journalist and conservative activist, made allegations that in the process of writing with author Joan O’C. Hamilton, Ms. Harris used paragraphs or ideas without clear source.
Harris’s presidential campaign has previously denied the allegation of the lack of quote in the bookSmart on Crime, and a religious expert said that this was just a “sloppy writing error”.
At that time, JD Vance (currently the Vice President of the United States) sarcastically on social network X that he “wrote his own book”, Harris “copied from Wikipedia”.

Mr. Vance’s tweeted tweet also linked to a blog article by journalist Christopher RUFO, which raised some specific paragraphs that he thought was “the classic definition of the Taoist”.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Bailey writer wrote in an analysis for the pagePlagiarism TodayThat “the problem lies in the habit of writing sloppy rather than the purpose of fraud”.
Harris’s election campaign previously defended the book, saying the book “clearly cited the source and data in the comments at the end of the page and the reference section”. All of Harris’s books are still on sale normally.
Currently there is no authentic evidence that Harris deliberately religious with the purpose of academic fraud or personal gain. The incident in 2024 was mainly exploited by the conservative media in the context that Ms. Harris was the US presidential candidate, in order to affect her image and reputation with voters.
