Why, when we have been largely socialized into good behavior, are
there more laws that govern our behavior than ever before? Levels
of violent crime have been in a steady decline for centuries--for
millennia, even. Over the past five hundred years, homicide rates
have decreased a hundred-fold. We live in a time that is more
orderly and peaceful than ever before in human history. Why, then
does fear of crime dominate modern politics? Why, when we have been
largely socialized into good behavior, are there more laws that
govern our behavior than ever before? In Command and Persuade,
Peter Baldwin examines the evolution of the state's role in crime
and punishment over three thousand years.
