What constituted a crime 2,500 years ago, and how was criminal
activity dealt with? How has our definition of justice evolved over
time alongside developments in law, society, religion and class
structures? 36 experts address these pressing questions in a
six-volume reference set that spans 2,500 years of human history.
Integrating perspectives from history, cultural studies, philosophy
and classics, this globally-focused work traces developments in the
ever-changing criminal and justice worlds against a variety of
social, legal and cultural contexts. Individual volume editors
ensure the cohesion of the whole, and to make it as easy as
possible to use, chapter titles are identical across each of the
volumes. This gives the choice of reading about a specific period
in one of the volumes, or following a theme across history by
reading the relevant chapter in each of the six. The six volumes
cover: 1. Antiquity (500 BCE - 800 CE); 2. Medieval Age (800 -
1450); 3. Renaissance (1450 - 1650) ; 4. Age of Enlightenment (1650
- 1800); 5. Age of Empire (1800 - 1920); 6. Modern Age (1920 -
2000+). Themes include crime, types of criminal, law enforcement,
sanctions and representations of crime and punishment. The page
extent is approximately 1,728 pp. with c. 300 illustrations. Each
volume opens with notes on contributors, a series preface and an
introduction, and concludes with notes, bibliography and an index.
