This illustrated non-fiction work traces the history of the scold's bridle, also known as the brank in Scotland and closely related to the schandmaske as used in Europe. The account opens with a survey of various designs, all of them are daunting but there are some quite horrific ones which could inflict lasting injuries.The author goes on to debunk the myth that these were used to punish nagging wives, and demonstrates, instead, that the power brokers of medieval society used the bridles as a means of public humiliation, to silence opposition from the lower classes, and to stop dominant females gaining power in society.There is also a section on how such artefacts were used with great cruelty as part of the witch craze, especially in Scotland.Covering a historical period from 1560 to 1860, the book is richly illustrated, throughout, with pictures of genuine museum artefacts and simulations of the items in use. Some readers may be surprised to learn that these cruel gadgets were still being used in the Victorian workhouse, the prison and the lunatic asylum, well into the 19th Century, long after their use had been abandoned in the outside world.One telling section investigates the modern trend in replica items and offers advice on how to tell the fake from the real thing.Originally planned as the third in a series on the history of punishment, this is the first to be released and it is no exaggeration to say that it will change, forever, the public perception of these grim instruments of torment.

Punishment occupies a central place in our lives and attitudes. We suffer a profound ambivalence about its moral consequences. Persons who have been punished or are liable to be punished have long objected to the legitimacy of punishment. We are all objects of punishment, yet we are also its users. Our ambivalence is so profound that not only do we punish others, but we punish ourselves as well. We view those who submit too willingly to punishment as obedient verging on the groveling coward, and we view those who resist punishment as disobedient, rebels. In The Punishment Response Graeme Newman describes the uses of punishment and how these uses change over time.Some argue that punishment promotes discrimination and divisiveness in society. Others claim that it is through punishment that order and legitimacy are upheld. It is important that punishment is understood as neither one nor the other; it is both. This point, simple though it seems, has never really been addressed. This is why Newman claims we wax and wane in our uses of punishment; why punishing institutions are clogged by bureaucracy; why the death penalty comes and goes like the tide.Graeme Newman emphasizes that punishment is a cultural process and also a mechanism of particular institutions, of which criminal law is but one. Because academic discussions of punishment have been confined to legalistic preoccupations, much of the policy and justification of punishment have been based on discussions of extreme cases. The use of punishment in the sphere of crime is an extreme unto itself, since crime is a minor aspect of daily life. The uses of punishment, and the moral justifications for punishment within the family and school have rarely been considered, certainly not to the exhaustive extent that criminal law has been in this outstanding work.
