"The Criminal; The Crime; The Penalty" by George Hughes Hepworth offers a penetrating look into the complexities of crime and punishment in mid-19th century society. Hepworth delves into the motivations behind criminal behavior, the nature of the crimes themselves, and the societal responses enacted as penalties. This work provides valuable insights into the historical perspectives on law, justice, and social reform during a transformative period. It remains relevant for those interested in the evolution of criminological thought and the enduring challenges of addressing crime within communities.
