{"product_id":"torture-punishment-steven-plant-9781720600749","title":"Torture \u0026 Punishment","description":"Torture \u0026amp; PunishmentThroughout the medieval period it was believed that the only way to keep order was to make sure that the people were scared of the punishments given for crimes committed. For this reason all crimes from stealing to burglary of houses to murder had harsh punishments.Although there were gaols, they were generally used to hold a prisoner awaiting trial rather than as a means of punishment. Fines, shaming (being placed in stocks), mutilation (cutting off a part of the body) or death were the most common forms of medieval punishment.There was no police force in the medieval period so law-enforcement was in the hands of the community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Plant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1720600740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781720600749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.09d","brand":"Steven Plant","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46602940776703,"sku":"9781720600749","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26a0ff55-e220-49d8-8180-24759bf16373.jpg?v=1739695732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/torture-punishment-steven-plant-9781720600749","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
