Modern Histories of Crime and Punishment (Paperback)

Modern Histories of Crime and Punishment showcases a variety of disciplinary, methodological, and theoretical approaches that, taken together, contribute to our understanding of the history of criminal law. The book features work done by historians, lawyers, theorists, and sociologists on the history of criminal law and highlights how this multidisciplinary scholarship can help to frame critical analysis in the study and teaching of modern criminal law. As Modern Histories makes clear, the historical analysis of crime and punishment is not a freestanding inquiry into a distinct institution or body of legal doctrine, but in the end amounts to a daunting, yet exhilarating, venture into the webs of governance and control that constitute social and political life.
