{"product_id":"a-history-of-the-criminal-james-fitzjames-stephen-9781108060714","title":"A History of the Criminal Law of England","description":"Sir James Fitzjames Stephen (1829-94) published this three-volume account of the English criminal law's historical development in 1883, four years after his appointment as a judge of the High Court. It is a revision and expansion of the second chapter in Stephen's 1863 General View (also reissued in this series). At first sight, it is ironic that the author of this classic of legal historical scholarship was himself a Benthamite who favoured and promoted the codification of the common law and worked on codes of criminal law and procedure for India and for England. Volume 1 contains a short preliminary account of Roman criminal law and pre-Conquest English criminal law; a survey of courts exercising criminal jurisdiction; a historical account of the development of the main elements of criminal procedure; a history of criminal punishments; and a general comparative view of the differences between English and French criminal procedure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Fitzjames Stephen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108060714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108060714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.33d","brand":"James Fitzjames Stephen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46311033405695,"sku":"9781108060714","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1cfdff42-d11e-4917-9966-7d475143bd76.jpg?v=1730887919","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-the-criminal-james-fitzjames-stephen-9781108060714","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
