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

The book explores the complex and multifaceted nature of murder as a phenomenon, a "red thread" running through human history and culture. Kate Morgan analyzes "murders" not only as an act of violence but as a social and cultural phenomenon,... examining its impact on art, literature, moral norms, history, and law. From medieval ballads to modern cases of provocation, self-defense, insanity, corporate negligence, and wrongful convictions, the evolution of laws and public opinion. The author discusses all this in the book, conducting a deep analysis and providing real-life examples, mythology, and pop culture to show how murders have shaped human behavior, social structures, and changed the legal system. This book will be an interesting read for anyone who wants to familiarize themselves with the legislative system through vivid examples from human history. Additionally, the book will be an invaluable practical resource for historians and lawyers interested in the history and evolution of legal and criminal systems.
