A compelling investigation of historically unpunished murders by a respected legal theorist. Lawrence M. Friedman compares different examples of unpunished homicides including early vigilante justice, crimes of passion and mercy killings, and argues that the basis of these 'crimes without punishment' are conflicts in social and cultural norms.
