Full Description
Volume 2 continues the dialogue about crime, considering more fully the relationship to psychopathy, deviance and mental health, which concept, as well as that of sin, is well explored. In this context, Wootton discusses ethics, honesty, sex and the law, murder and capital punishment; and her own invaluable and fascinating study of diminished responsibility in 73 cases of murder is reproduced.
