Summary Note
This book describes in detail the development of the main principles of substantive criminal law during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The author examines the forces which shaped criminal jurisprudence throughout the course of this period, paying particular attention to the activities of legislators and reformers, to parallel developments in the study of punishment and human psychology, to general social and political changes and to the growth of anorganised police force and its reliance upon formal rules of procedure and evidence.
