Covering criminal justice history on a cross-national basis, this book studies criminal justice in Western civilization and American life chronologically from ancient times to the present. It is an intro to the historical problems of criminal activity, law enforcement and penology, set against the background of major historic events and movements. Integrating criminal justice history into the scope of European, British, French and American history, this text provides the opportunity for comparisons of criminal offense and punishment over boundaries of nationwide histories. The text now concludes with a chapter that deals with terrorism and homeland security.
