It shows that the dichotomy between theories and practices of 'private' and of 'public' justice should be substituted by a framework in which three models, or discourses, of criminal justice are recognised as present in medieval Italian communes, with the addition of a specifically religious discourse based on penitential spirituality. Although the models of criminal justice were competing, they also influenced each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lidia Luisa Zanetti Domingues\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192844865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192844866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.81h x 5.81w x 0.76d","brand":"Lidia Luisa Zanetti Domingues","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981991313663,"sku":"9780192844866","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_365a6034-0993-493f-8aa7-5c9a40b7d51b.jpg?v=1683258663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religion-conflict-and-criminal-justice-lidia-luisa-zanetti-domingues-9780192844866","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
