When is a crime a crime--or an act condoned by a significant
portion of society? When is a criminal a criminal--or a
revolutionary or a national hero? As the chapters in this
collection make clear, what constitutes criminal activity varies,
to a degree, among different societies and at different moments in
a society's history. In this wide-ranging work, major historians of
criminology and penology examine aspects of crime and criminal
justice from medieval Western Europe to modern day Canada.
In addition to examining crime, the judicial system, and
punishment in various societies, the chapters look at the evolution
of police systems as societies urbanize and undergo population
changes. Together these chapters look at many key questions
concerning the modern study of criminal behavior. As such, the
volume will be of great interest to researchers and scholars of the
history of crime.
