In this compelling book, Lawrence M. Friedman looks at situations
where killing is condemned by law but not by social norms and,
therefore, is rarely punished. He shows how penal codes categorize
homicides by degree of intent, which are in turn based on society's
sense of moral outrage. Despite being officially defined as murder,
many homicides have historically gone unpunished. Friedman looks at
early vigilante justice, crimes of passion, murder of necessity,
mercy killings, and assisted suicides. In his explorations of these
unpunished homicides, Friedman probes what these circumstances tell
us about conflicts in social and cultural norms, and the
interaction of law and society.
