Taking the kingdom of Denmark as its frame of reference, this
volume presents a range of close analyses that shed light on the
construction and deconstruction of crime and criminals, on criminal
cultures and on crime control from 1500 to 2000. Historically,
there have been major changes in the legal definition of those acts
that are legally defined as being criminal offences - and of those
that are not. This volume explores the criteria and perceptions
underlying definitions of crime in a powerful and absolutist
Lutheran state and subsequently in a Denmark characterised by
social welfare and sexual liberation. It places special focus on
moral issues rooted in considerations of religion and sexuality.
