A series of case studies, the book's first section, about deciding what behavior to criminalize, is most successful; the second and third--on punishment and due process--are also provocative. Kanefield allows readers to understand how notions of right and wrong change over time and across cultures, helping them begin to understand the complexities of crime and punishment. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.
