About the book: Providing a rounded and coherent history of crime and the law spanning
the past 400 years, Histories of Crime explores the evolution of attitudes towards
crime and criminality over time. Bringing together contributions from internationally
acknowledged
experts, the book highlights themes, current issues and key debates in the history
of deviance and bad behaviour, including:
■ marital cruelty and adultery
■ infanticide
■ murder
■ the underworld
■ blasphemy and moral crimes
■ fraud and white-collar crime
■ the death penalty and punishment.
Individual case studies of violent and non-violent crime are used to explore the human
means and motives behind criminal practice. Through these, the book illuminates society's
wider attitudes and fears about criminal behaviour and the way in which these influence
the law and legal system over time. This fascinating book is essential reading for
students and teachers of history, sociology and criminology, as well as anyone interested
in Britain's criminal past. |
