Covering criminal justice history on a cross-national basis, this
book surveys criminal justice in Western civilization and American
life chronologically from ancient times to the present. It is an
introduction to the historical problems of crime, law enforcement
and penology, set against the background of major historical events
and movements. Integrating criminal justice history into the scope
of European, British, French and American history, this text
provides the opportunity for comparisons of crime and punishment
over boundaries of national histories. The text now concludes with
a chapter that addresses terrorism and homeland security.
A supplement for Heirs to Heresy, introducing new knightly orders,
mighty relics, mysteries, and foes both mortal and supernatural.
The shadow that hangs over Europe, already dark, is growing ever
darker. Branded a heretic and turned fugitive, you are on the run.
Your enemies are many, your friends few… and trust scarce. The
knightly orders with whom you once fought side-by-side – the
Hospitallers, Teutonics, and others – are potential allies but,
having witnessed your cruel fate, do they still keep faith with the
Templars or have they fallen to doubt and fear? Heirs to Heresy:
Faith & Fear is a supplement for the roleplaying game of the
fall of the Knights Templar that unfolds like the labyrinthine
Templar conspiracies themselves. Previously unknown foes stalk city
streets and forest paths alike, while unexpected allies come to the
fore in the form of new playable knightly orders. Ancient relics
and new mysteries abound, allowing players to dive more deeply into
this dark, mythic Europe, while rules for strongholds and spy
networks present them with opportunities to exploit or challenges
to overcome.
This book presents the proceedings of the Sixth International
Conference on Category Theory and Computer Science, CTCS '95, held
in Cambridge, UK in August 1995.
The 15 revised full papers included in the volume document the
exploitation of links between logic and category theory leading to
a solid basis for much of the understanding of the semantics of
computation. Notable amongst other advances is the introduction of
linear logic and other substructural logics, providing a new
approach to proof theory. Further aspects covered are semantics of
lambda calculi and type theories, program specification and
development, and domain theory.

During the fourth century Roman emperor Constantine created laws
exempting clergymen who committed a felony from having to answer
for their actions before a secular court. This set about 1500 years
of use and abuse of what became known as Benefit of Clergy. The
unusual legal excuse traveled to England where by the middle of the
thirteenth century men who were no more than church doormen or
bishop's messengers could avoid the executioner's gallows and walk
free after a brief appearance before the Christian court. The range
of crimes committed by these clerics encompassed all of the
criminality occurring throughout the Middle Ages: murder, rape,
arson, kidnapping, extortion, theft. Priests belonged to gangs of
robbers and murderers, monks supplied their services as thugs to
evict legitimate tenants and a bishop ran his own mafia, in 1303 a
priest assisted by a group of monks stole the crown jewels. In one
particularly gruesome incident a monk assisted a group of villagers
in holding a man inside an oven until he burned to death. In
another example a priest sexually assaulted a woman and then
returned later to assault her again. When she resisted he held her
infant child in a fire. During the same period students at Oxford
university were permitted to claim the dubious title of cleric; to
their discredit they were at one point the most murderous group of
citizens throughout the realm. Eventually the church and the crown
had little choice but to attempt reform of England's criminal
clerics. It took two hundred years. To the surprise of some writers
though the excuse was not removed; it was extended. By 1375 it was
possible for any Englishman who could read to claim he was a
clergyman and be exempted from hanging. This book follows the
fascinating and graphic history of the use and abuse of benefit of
clergy in England during the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries. Previous commentators have largely dismissed the clergy
plea as an anomaly, something simply 'evil' or even a 'queer old
farce'. That position is challenged in this book and it is
suggested that the excuse should be reconsidered against the
vibrant social and legal environment of medieval England as one of
a range of legal excuses that also included sanctuary, abjuration
and outlawry. In theory these three options were not available to
clerics. In practice, and at times with the connivance of their
bishops, all order of clergymen availed themselves of the
opportunity to hide, flea or become a legal outcast. If they failed
many then resorted to the cleric's plea as a last option. The story
of benefit of clergy has previously been portrayed as an example of
the worst excesses of churchmen usurping the law. In this work a
new position is argued; one that does not seek to absolve the
criminal clergymen of medieval England, but rather more to
appreciate better the factors that came to bear upon them in the
rapidly changing world of the late Middle Ages and to recognize
that the laicization of benefit of clergy was a natural and
inevitable growth of the dynamic world during this period. Recent
commentary on Benefit of Clergy is sparse. Even less has been said
that includes it with sanctuary, abjuration and outlawry. Students
of history, legal history, criminal justice, religion and anyone
looking for a fascinating read is encouraged to look into Getting
away with Murder: Criminal Clerics in Late Medieval England.

beliefs vary; therefore, people should attempt to achieve a
position that results in fairness and equity within society and
respects individual beliefs. Ethical behavior is expressed by an
ethos that drives the rationality behind fair, equitable and
