Taylor & Francis Ltd The Limits of Criminological Positivism
Book SynopsisThe Limits of Criminological Positivism: The Movement for Criminal Law Reform in the West, 1870-1940 presents the first major study of the limits of criminological positivism in the West and establishes the subject as a field of interest.The volume will explore those limits and bring to life the resulting doctrinal, procedural, and institutional compromises of the early twentieth century that might be said to have defined modern criminal justice administration. The book examines the topic not only in North America and western Europe, with essays on Italy, Germany, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Finland but also the reception and implementation of positivist ideas in Brazil. In doing so, it explores three comparative elements: (1) the differing national experiences within the civil law world; (2) differences and similarities between civil law and common law regimes; and (3) some differences between the two leading common-law countriesTrade Review'This is an immensely rich and engaging collection addressing a decisive moment in the development of criminal law and justice. Each of the chapters provides a close and careful account of the limits of criminological positivism – political, social, practical, and institutional as well as intellectual – in a particular context, and the themes evident across the collection are expertly drawn out in Michele Pifferi’s Introduction. This book is a substantial addition to the scholarly field and deserves to be read widely.'- Arlie Loughan, Professor of Criminal Law and Criminal Law Theory at the University of Sydney Law School'This book is impressive, in terms of its scholarship, the histories it presents, and in terms of its breath, through time and across geographic boundaries. The book provides an analysis of positivist criminology and uniquely it situates this analysis within a, to draw on the words of one of the contributing author’s, very wide ideological, chronological and geographical context. The chapters variously explore histories of positivist criminology in Britain, Spain, France, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Brazil and America. To have access to all of these histories of criminological positivism in one book is quite extraordinary. To have all of this in book chapters of such quality in terms of scholarship, and in terms of story-telling, even more so. Each chapter stands alone as a critical analysis of some aspect of historical criminological positivism, while at the same time providing an intriguing story situating its history within relevant political, social, juridical and academic as well as individual and personal frameworks. As a collection, it represents a key contribution to historiography. As well as providing us with these detailed histories, the book provides insight into the research and the ongoing challenges in the work of historians and archivists. Above all, the book provides us with fresh insights into as well as a reminder of an important framework, that of criminological positivism, within which to view and critically review the scientific development of criminology in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.'-Dr. Christina Quinlan, Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Social Justice and Director of the Institute for Research in Criminology, Community, Education and Social Justice'This is an immensely rich and engaging collection addressing a decisive moment in the development of criminal law and justice.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Law Legal Culture and Society
Book SynopsisThis volume addresses the pluralistic identity of the legal order. It argues that the mutual reflexivity of the different ways society perceives law and law perceives society eclipses the unique formal identity of written law. It advances a distinctive approach to the plural ways in which legal cultures work in a modern society, through the metaphor of the mirror. As a mirror of society, it distinguishes between the structure and function of legal culture within the legal system, and the external representation of law in society. This duality is further problematized in relation to the increasing transnationalisation of law. Based on a multi-level interpretation of the concept of legal culture, the work is divided into three parts: the first addresses the mutual reflections of social and legal norms that support a pluralist representation of internal legal cultures, the second concentrates on the external legal cultures that constantly enable pragmatic adjustments of the legaTable of ContentsIntroduction; PART I TOWARDS A REFLEXIVE LEGAL CULTURE; 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Justice Humanity and the New World Order
Book SynopsisThis title was first published in 2003.Justice, Humanity and the New World Order offers a refreshing analysis of current jurisprudential concerns regarding the new world order, by examining them in the intellectual context of the late eighteenth-century Enlightenment. After setting the historical context, the author investigates aspects of Enlightenment political culture as well as aspects of the new world order, including international relations, the European Union and human rights. In conclusion, the author introduces the concept of a new humanism, which he suggests, drawing on certain aspects of Enlightenment political philosophy, can complement the new world order.Trade Review'In these difficult times when wars are conducted in the name of justice and people are routinely killed in the pursuit of ’humanitarian’ goals, Ian Ward offers an erudite and passionate call for the priority of the just over the lawful. Ward argues for a return to a humanism of the future in which sense and sensibility, reason and passion, law and literature will no longer be enemies but allies in the struggle to bring equity back into the law and justice into the imperial world order under construction.' Professor Costas Douzinas, University of London, UK. 'Ian Ward makes a powerful case for a new legal humanism that judiciously balances sense and sensibility, reason and imagination, justice and legality. Rooted in broad interpretations of Kant and Adam Smith, this book may extend our juristic canon to include Godwin and Coleridge, Havel and Derrida, and even George Eliot and Walt Whitman. Clear, erudite, and readable.' Professor William Twining, University College, London, UK '...a most useful text...' Law and Politics Book Review 'His [Ward] professed aim is to put forward some constructive ideas as building blocks for a new approach to law and justice...The book is written with an appealing sense of passion and it is not difficult to certify that it has achieved its purpose.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Womens Voices in Tudor Wills 14851603
Book SynopsisContributing an original dimension to the significant body of published scholarship on women in 16th-century England, this study examines the largest corpus of women's private writings available to historians: their wills. In these, female voices speak out, commenting on their daily lives, on identity, gender, status, familial relationships and social engagement. Wills show women to have been active participants in a civil society, well aware of their personal authority and potential influence, whose committed actions during life and charitable strategies after death could and did impact the health of that society. From an intensive analysis of more than 1200 wills, this pioneering work focuses on women from all parts of the country and all strata of society, revealing an entire population of articulate, opportunistic, and capable individuals who found the spaces between the lines of the law and used those spaces to achieve personal goals. Author Susan James demonstrates how willTrade Review"This book is highly recommended for its topic, approach, and new perspectives on women’s wills in the Tudor epoch. James presents her views with clarity and at a welcome pace." - George Lazaroiu, Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences, NY, and Spiru Haret University, Bucharest, Romania"Does James succeed in allowing us access to the voices of ordinary women? The answer is yes, and with an extraordinary level of detail. Her desire to focus on women’s common experience, however, introduces the idea of a more “universal” Tudor woman than some historians would be willing to accept. But the book should be read by everyone interested in women’s voices, especially in this period. The great strength of James’s book is the amount of knowledge she has so admirably extracted from her sources. Wills really are so much more than mere transfers of property." - Judith Spicksley, University of York, UK"This is an important contribution that analyses an impressive body of data. James’s investigation of women’s wills sheds light on the concerns, preoccupations and activities of women in Tudor England and raises important new questions about gender and inheritance." - CHARMIAN MANSELL, UNIVERSITY OF EXETER, UKTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1: The Performance of Death; 2: Identity and Remembrance; 3: Women's Work; 4: The Dispersal of Assets; 5: The Dispersal of Assets; 6: The Dispersal of Assets; Conclusion

Taylor & Francis Ltd Policing: A short history
Book SynopsisThis book provides an overview of the history of policing in the UK. Its primary aim is to investigate the shifting nature of policing over time, and to provide a historical foundation to today's debates. Policing: a short history moves away from a focus on the origins of the 'new police', and concentrates rather on broader (but much neglected) patterns of policing. How was there a shift from communal responsibility to policing? What has been expected of the police by the public and vice versa? How have the police come to dominate modern thinking on policing? The book shows how policing - in the sense of crime control and order maintenance - has come to be seen as the work which the police do, even though the bulk of policing is undertaken by people and organisations other than the police. This book will be essential reading for anybody interested in the history of policing, on how differing perceptions emerged on the function of policing on the part of the public, the state and the police, and in today's intense debates on what the police do.Table of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Gentlemen and Poachers The English Game Laws 16711831
Book SynopsisThe eighteenth-century English game laws have long been synonymous with petty tyranny. By imposing a property qualification on sportsmen, they effectively denied all but country gentlemen the right to take game or even to possess a gun. Those who challenged the gentry's monopoly were fined or imprisoned, usually after only a summary hearing by the local justice of the peace. In the early nineteenth century, it was claimed that one out of every four inmates in England's prisons was an offender against the game laws. Bitterly denounced at the time, they have continued to be condemned by historians as arbitrary, savage and unjust. This book is the first full scholarly examination of the English game laws. Based on material drawn from over two dozen archives - including judicial records, estate correspondence and personal diaries - it attempts to explain what the laws actually were, why they were passed, how they were enforced and why they were eventually repealed. The picture which emergeTable of Contents1. The game laws; 2. Field sports and game preservation; 3. Poachers and the black market; 4. The enforcement of the game laws; 5. Early opposition to the game laws; 6. The reform of the game laws; 7. Conclusion.

Cambridge University Press Crime and Justice in Late Medieval Italy
Book SynopsisIn this important study, Trevor Dean examines the history of criminal justice in late medieval Italy. Drawing on a diverse and innovative range of sources, Dean demonstrates how knowledge of the history of criminal justice can illuminate our wider understanding of the Middle Ages.Trade Review"Historians working in a number of fields will undoubtedly want to tackle his conclusions and forward the debate--perhaps the best kind of compliment for a book of this sort... This is a book that provides both the theoretical justification for its approach and the practical demonstration of its worth, and it deserves a very wide readership." -Frances Andrews, H-Law"Dean writes with a clear, straightforward, and even Spartan style...a nuanced examination of crime throughout Italy, providing a much needed survey of Italian criminal justice." Sarah Whitten, UCLA, Comitatus"This is a carefully constructed, well-written, even understated study of an important set of issues in social and legal history. Those who read it...will be impelled to move beyond where Dean has gone, less because of failings or omissions than because of his sensible lead." -Thoman Kuehn, Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies"Social historians, legal historians, and students of medieval Italy will be glad to find a place on thier shelves for this engaging, well-written, and superbly researched book." -Blake R.
