Laws are written in blood. Murders and their consequences for the criminal justice system of England

This book explores the complex and multifaceted nature of murder as a phenomenon, a "common thread" running through human history and culture. Kate Morgan analyzes "murders" not only as acts of violence but also as social and cultural phenomena, examining their impact on art, literature, moral standards, history, and law. From medieval ballads to modern cases, provocations, self-defense, insanity, corporate negligence, and wrongful convictions, the evolution of laws and public opinion. The author discusses all this in the book, providing in-depth analysis and examples from real life, mythology, and pop culture to show how murders have shaped human behavior, social structures, and changed the legal system. This book will be an engaging read for anyone who wishes to familiarize themselves with the legal system through vivid examples from human history. It will also be an indispensable practical resource for historians and lawyers interested in the history and evolution of the legal and criminal system.
