Using Roman literary and legal sources, this book assesses Roman penal policy through an in-depth examination of six high-profile criminal cases, ranging from the Bacchanalian trials in 186 BC to the trials for treason and magic in the fourth century. Identifying Roman attitudes to crime and punishment, this book brings out contrasts and developments in those attitudes. O.F. Robinson examines Roman criminal legislation (both that laid down by Justinian and that codified and confirmed by him) as well as Roman attitudes, both juristic and philosophical, to the purposes of punishment, including

Set in a midwestern city notorious for its history of violent Vietnam war protests, Penal Fires is a psychological mystery of murder, reconciliation, romance and revenge.

A drive-by attempt on the second manÂ’s life leads Hartway to a lethal blond, a powerful rival, a deadly prison cult, and more murders. All the evidence points to the psychiatric institute run by his father, bu

In this fascinating expose of current crime policy John Pratt examines the role played by penal populism on trends in contemporary penal policy. Penal populism is associated with the public’s decline of deference to the criminal justice establishment amidst alarm that crime is out of control. Pratt argues that new media technology is helping to spread national insecurities and politicians are not only encouraging such sentiments but are also being led on by them.
