图书描述

In an extraordinary history of the criminal trial, Sadakat Kadri shows with wit, legal insight and a travel writer's eye for detail, how the irrationality of the past lives on in the legal systems of the present. A bold and brilliant debut from a prize-winning new writer. 'The Trial' spans a vast distance in time, opening in the dread silence of the Egyptian Hall of the Dead and ending with the melodramas and hubbub of the 21st-century trial circus. Reconciliation and vengeance, secrecy and spectacle, superstition and reason all intertwine continually. The book crosses from the marbled courtrooms of Athens through the ordeal pits of Anglo-Saxon England, past the torture chambers of the Inquisition to the judicial theatres of 17th-century Salem, and from 1930s Moscow and post-war Nuremberg to the virtual courtrooms of modern Hollywood. Kadri shows throughout how the trial has always been concerned with doing more than guaranteeing fairness and holding human beings to account for their deliberate crimes. He recounts how insentient and irrational defendants from caterpillars to corpses were once summonsed to court, before being exiled for their failure to attend or sentenced to die again -- and argues that the same urge to punish lives on in today's trials of children and the mentally ill. But although Justice's sword has always been double-edged -- as ready to destroy a community's enemies as to defend its dreams of due process -- the judicial contest also operates to enshrine some of the western world's most cherished values. The show trials of Stalin's Soviet Union were shams, but Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib are a reminder that a lack of a trial is equally unjust, and at a time when our constitutional landscape seems to be melting away, an appreciation of the criminal courtroom's history is more necessary than ever. As the Labour government launches an almost annual attempt to truncate trial by jury, and as authorities on both sides of the Atlantic are indefinitely detaining people in the name of an endless war on terror, 'The Trial' could hardly be more timely.

收获不大,最干货的大概是最后的法律检索部分了。 从神明裁判到纠问式审判,原因是基督教教会不希望因为无法把控的神判结果而放过想要迫害的人。 猎巫行动和巫术审判起源于基督教会认为只有上帝才具有超能力,一切具有超能力过能行使巫术的人都是违背基督教理论的,都必须审判...

弗朗西斯·培根在《培根随笔集·论司法》中说过一句鞭辟入里的名言,至今读来仍振聋发聩,“一次不公正的审判,比十次犯罪所造成的危害还要严重。因为犯罪不过弄脏了水流,而不公正的审判则败坏了水的源头。” 《不公正的审判》这本书非虚构类的法学书籍即聚焦于时间长达两千多...
