Punishment is the common response to crime and deviance in all
societies. However, its particular form and purpose are also linked
to specific features of the structure of these societies at a
particular time and place. Through a comparative historical
analysis of punishment, this 2005 book is designed to identify and
examine the sources of similarity and differences in types of
economic punishments, incapacitation devices and structures, and
lethal and non-lethal forms of corporal punishment over time and
place. We will look closely at punishment responses to crime and
deviance across different regions of the world and in specific
countries like the United States, China, and Saudi Arabia. It is
hoped that the reader will gain an appreciation for both the
universal and context-specific nature of punishment and its use for
purposes of social control, social change, and the elimination of
threat to the prevailing authorities.
