Crime and Punishment in Islamic Law: Theory and Practice from the Sixteenth to the Twenty-First Century

Rudolph Peters, "Crime and Punishment in Islamic Law: Theory and Practice from the Sixteenth to the Twenty-First Century "
English | ISBN: 0521796709 | 2006 | 232 pages | PDF | 1502 KB

In recent years some of the more fundamentalist regimes in the developing world (such as those of Iran, Pakistan, Sudan and the northern states of Nigeria) have reintroduced Islamic law in place of western criminal codes. Rudolph Peters presents a detailed account of the classical doctrine and traces the enforcement of criminal law from the Ottoman period to the present day. Accounts of actual cases, ranging from theft and banditry to murder, fornication and apostasy, shed light on the complexities of the law, and the sensitivity and intelligence of the qadis who implemented it.
