CR I ME & D E T E C T I ON

Crime, the detection of criminals, and the punishment of offenders, has taken many forms throughout history, and these 20 volumes examine the subject from every angle. Find out how the judicial system and methods of crime solving have evolved right up to the cyber age. Explore the development of punishments through the ages, from the biblical notion of an “eye for an eye” to modern penal systems that emphasize rehabilitation over penalty. DISCOVER THE TERRIBLE PUNISHMENTS OF TIMES PAST AND PRESENT, FROM THE “DEATH OF A THOUSAND CUTS” AND THE CRUEL AND FIENDISH TORTURES OF THE SPANISH INQUISITION, TO CONTEMPORARY CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
