This collection investigates how the concepts of shame, blame, and culpability have evolved as mechanisms of social control and justice within the modern state. Editors Judith Rowbotham, Marianna Muravyeva, and David Nash assemble a multidisciplinary team of historians and sociologists to analyze how these moral frameworks intersect with criminal justice systems. By examining primary source evidence from early modern Europe to the twentieth century, the contributors argue that the state's reliance on public shaming and moral attribution has shifted significantly in response to changing cultural and political landscapes.
