The ability of peacemaking to hinder criminal prosecution has often been considered the result of government powerlessness. Kumhera, however, examines the benefits of private peacemaking, detailing how its flexibility was crucial in creating a viable criminal justice system that emphasized violence prevention and recognition of jurisdiction while allowing space for friends, neighbors and clergy to intervene. Additionally, he explores the roles of women and clergy in peacemaking, how peace operated in a vendetta culture and how the medieval understanding of reconciliation affected the practice of peacemaking.Medieval Mediterranean ;109.Criminal justice, Administration ofItalyHistoryTo 1500ReconciliationSocial aspectsItalyHistoryTo 1500PeaceSocial aspectsItalyHistoryTo 1500ViolenceItalyPreventionHistoryTo 1500JurisdictionSocial aspectsItalyHistoryTo 1500ItalySocial conditions1268-1559Criminal justice, Administration ofHistoryReconciliationSocial aspectsHistoryPeaceSocial aspectsHistoryViolencePreventionHistoryJurisdictionSocial aspectsHistory303.66094509024Kumhera Glenn1532326MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792536403321The benefits of peace3778445UNINA
