Crime and Punishment in Islamic Law

Description

As of late a portion of the more fundamentalist systems in the creating scene, (for example, those of Iran, Pakistan, Sudan and the northern conditions of Nigeria) have reintroduced Islamic law instead of western criminal codes. Rudolph Peters presents a point by point record of the traditional tenet and follows the implementation of criminal law from the Ottoman time frame to the current day. Records of real cases, extending from burglary and banditry to murder, sex and renunciation, shed light on the complexities of the law, and the affectability and insight of the qadis who actualized it.
