Klappentext zu „Crime and Punishment in Islamic Law “
Rudolph Peters' book is about crimes and their punishments as laid down in Islamic law. In recent years some of the more fundamentalist regimes, such as those of Iran, Pakistan, Sudan and the northern states of Nigeria have reintroduced Islamic law in place of western criminal codes. Peters gives a detailed account of the classical doctrine and traces the enforcement of criminal law from the Ottoman period to the present day. The accounts of actual cases which range from theft, banditry, murder, fornication and apostasy shed light on the complexities of the law, and the sensitivity and perspicacity of the qadis who implemented it. This is the first single-authored account of both the theory and practice of Islamic criminal law. It will be invaluable for students, and scholars in the field, as well as for professionals looking for comprehensive coverage of the topic.

Rezension zu „Crime and Punishment in Islamic Law “
'This is the right book at the right time. ... The reader will not find a clearer account of the fundamental Islamic doctrines of crime and punishment. ...should be read not only by academics, but equally by journalists and other commentators who choose to write or broadcast on the subject of crime and punishment in Islamic law.' Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies
