Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the evolution of crime and punishment from the 19th century onwards. The author traces the abolition of capital punishment and the rise of the asylum system, arguing that these shifts reflect a broader change in attitudes towards crime and criminals. The author contends that the concept of insanity as an explanation for crime gained traction, leading to the establishment of numerous asylums. However, as the number of inmates surpassed those at liberty, a backlash occurred, and a new consensus emerged that everyone was insane. This led to the paradox that crime was abolished because all criminals were considered insane, and therefore not responsible for their actions. The book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the historical evolution of crime and punishment, shedding light on the complex interplay between societal attitudes, legal systems, and the evolving understanding of mental illness. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
