In this important new study, Trevor Dean examines the history of crime and criminal justice in Italy from the mid-thirteenth to the end of the fifteenth century. The book contains studies of the most frequent types of prosecuted crime such as violence, theft and insult, along with the rarely prosecuted sorcery and sex crimes. Drawing on a diverse and innovative range of sources, including legislation, legal opinions, prosecutions, chronicles and works of fiction, Dean demonstrates how knowledge of the history of criminal justice can illuminate our wider understanding of the Middle Ages. Issues and instruments of criminal justice reflected the structure and operation of state power; they were an essential element in the evolution of cities and they provided raw material for fictions. Furthermore, the study of judicial records provides insight into a wide range of social situations, from domestic violence to the oppression of ethnic minorities.

This book, based on the Tanner lectures on Human Values thatJustice Stephen Breyer delivered at Harvard University in November2004, defines the term “active liberty” as a sharing of thenation’s sovereign authority with its citizens. Regarding theConstitution as a guide for the application of basic Americanprinciples to a living and changing society rather than as anarsenal of rigid legal means for binding and restricting it,Justice Breyer argues that the genius of the Constitution rests notin any static meaning it might have had in a world that is dead andgone, but in the adaptability of its great principles to cope withcurrent problems. Giving us examples of this approach in the areas of free speech,federalism, privacy, affirmative action, statutory interpretation,and administrative law, Justice Breyer states that courts shouldtake greater account of the Constitution’s democratic nature whenthey interpret constitutional and statutory texts. He also insiststhat the people, through partici

The writer recounts the majorreforms of Solon, the rule of the tyrant Pisistratus and his sons,the emergence of the democracy in which power was shared by allfree male citizens, and the leadership of Pericles and thedemagogues who followed him. He goes on to examine the city'sadministration in his own time - the council, the officials and thejudicial system. For its information on Athens' development and howthe democracy worked, The Athenian Constitution is an invaluablesource of knowledge about the Athenian city-state.
