Today, crime and punishment remain significant parts of our culture, but societies vary greatly on what is considered criminal and how it should be punished. In this global survey of crime and punishment throughout history, Mitchel P. Roth examines how and why we penalize certain activities, and he scrutinizes the effectiveness of such efforts in both punishing wrongdoers and bringing a sense of justice to victims.PunishmentHistoryCrimeHistoryCriminal justice, Administration ofHistoryElectronic books.PunishmentHistory.CrimeHistory.Criminal justice, Administration ofHistory.364.609Roth Mitchel P.895663MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461153203321An eye for an eye2179104UNINA
