Providing a rounded and coherent history of crime and the law
spanning the past 400 years, Histories of Crime explores the
evolution of attitudes towards crime and criminality over time.
Bringing together contributions from internationally acknowledged
experts, the book highlights themes, current issues and key debates
in the history of deviance and bad behaviour, including: ? marital
cruelty and adultery ? infanticide ? murder ? the underworld ?
blasphemy and moral crimes ? fraud and white-collar crime ? the
death penalty and punishment. Individual case studies of violent
and non-violent crime are used to explore the human means and
motives behind criminal practice. Through these, the book
illuminates society's wider attitudes and fears about criminal
behaviour and the way in which these influence the law and legal
system over time. This fascinating book is essential reading for
students and teachers of history, sociology and criminology, as
well as anyone interested in Britain's criminal past.
