Book Synopsis Women, Crime and Punishment in Ancient Law and Society by : Elisabeth Meier Tetlow
Book excerpt: Crime and punishment, criminal law and its administration, are areas of ancient history that have been explored less than many other aspects of ancient civilizations. Throughout history women have been affected by crime both as victims and as offenders. Yet, in the ancient world customary laws were created by men, formal laws were written by men, and both were interpreted and enforced by men.
