Nordic Homicide in Deep Time draws a unique and detailed picture of developments in human interpersonal violence and presents new findings on rates, patterns, and long-term changes in lethal violence in the Nordics. Conducted by an interdisciplinary team of criminologists and historians, the book analyses homicide and lethal violence in northern Europe in two eras – the 17th century and early 21st century. Similar and continuous societal structures, cultural patterns, and legal cultures allow for long-term and comparative homicide research in the Nordic context. Reflecting human universals and stable motives, such as revenge, jealousy, honour, and material conflicts, homicide as a form of human behaviour enables long-duration comparison. By describing the rates and patterns of homicide during these two eras, the authors unveil continuity and change in human violence. Where and when did homicide typically take place? Who were the victims and the offenders, what where the circumstances of their conflicts? Was intimate partner homicide more prevalent in the early modern period than in present times? How long a time elapsed from violence to death? Were homicides often committed in the context of other crime? The book offers answers to these questions among others, comparing regions and eras. We gain a unique and empirically grounded view on how state consolidation and changing routines of everyday life transformed the patterns of criminal homicide in Nordic society. The path to pacification was anything but easy, punctuated by shorter crises of social turmoil, and high violence. The book is also a methodological experiment that seeks to assess the feasibility of long-duration standardized homicide analysis and to better understand the logic of homicide variation across space and over time. In developing a new approach for extending homicide research into the deep past, the authors have created the Historical Homicide Monitor. The new instrument combines wide explanatory scope, measurement standardization, and articulated theory expression. By retroactively expanding research data to the pre-statistical era, the method enables long-duration comparison of different periods and areas. Based on in-depth source critique, the approach captures patterns of criminal behaviour, beyond the control activity of the courts. The authors foresee the application of their approach in even remoter periods. Nordic Homicide in Deep Time helps the reader to understand modern homicide by revealing the historical continuities and changes in lethal violence. The book is written for professionals, university students and anyone interested in the history of human behaviour.

In The Better Angels of Our Nature Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker argued that modern history has witnessed a dramatic decline in human violence of every kind, and that in the present we are experiencing the most peaceful time in human history. But what do top historians think about Pinker's reading of the past? Does his argument stand up to historical analysis? In The Darker Angels of our Nature, seventeen scholars of international stature evaluate Pinker's arguments and find them lacking. Studying the history of violence from Japan and Russia to Native America, Medieval England and the Imperial Middle East, these scholars debunk the myth of non-violent modernity. Asserting that the real story of human violence is richer, more interesting and incomparably more complex than Pinker's sweeping, simplified narrative, this book tests, and bests, 'fake history' with expert knowledge.

Entgegen der weitverbreiteten Forschungsmeinung, die von einem Rückgang der Gewalt in europäischen Gesellschaften im 18. Jahrhundert ausgeht, ist für Lancashire in England während dieser Zeit ein deutlicher Anstieg von Tötungsraten festzustellen. Die Fallstudie untersucht anhand von Tötungsdelikten die Auswirkungen von Frühindustrialisierung, Urbanisierung und Bevölkerungswachstum auf das Auftreten von gewaltsamen Auseinandersetzungen und ordnet gängige Fortschrittsnarrative kritisch ein. Methodisch verbindet das Buch dazu einen sozialgeschichtlich-quantitativen mit einem kulturgeschichtlich-qualitativen Zugriff auf die Akten der Strafjustiz und wirft im Ergebnis ein neues Licht auf das Verhältnis von Gewalt und gesellschaftlichem Wandel in dieser wichtigen Transformationsphase am Übergang zur Moderne.

근거 없는 낙관론자 스티븐 핑커에 대한 역사학계의 첫 전면적 비판서 심리학자 스티븐 핑커의 《우리 본성의 선한 천사: 인간은 폭력성과 어떻게 싸워 왔는가》는 인류사에서 “문명화과정에 따른 폭력성의 순화와 평화화”로 인해 폭력성이 지속적으로 감소해왔다는 낙관적 주장으로 대대적인 성공을 거두었다. 그러나 사회과학 전 분야에서 광범위하게 비판받아왔다. 《우리 본성의 악한 천사》는 전 세계의 권위 있는 역사학자들이 ‘폭력의 역사’에 대한 몰이해와 왜곡에 바탕을 둔 핑커의 저술을 전면적으로 논박한 최초의 책이다. 《우리 본성의 악한 천사》에서 다양한 분야의 역사학자들은 잘못된 기본 개념부터 원천자료에 대한 몰이해, 통계의 오용 및 편파적 해석, 반대증거의 무시, 인지적 편견, 폭력의 편협한 범주, 피해자의 고통이 아닌 공격자의 분노회로가 중심이 되는 폭력관, “온화한 상업”(곧 자본주의)에 대한 신자유주의적 신념, 폭력의 심리에 대한 논증의 기반인 역사적 조건의 비(非)고려, 나머지 세계에 눈감는 서구중심적 역사관에 이르기까지 핑커의 비학문성과 그에 따른 맹목적 결론에 대해 비판적 의문 제기와 합리적 반박을 제기한다. 책에는 지성의 역사, 감정의 역사, 문화사, 사회사, 의학사, 고대사, 중세사, 근현대사, 유럽사, 지역사, 형법사. 환경사, 생물학·고고학의 역사 등의 학제간 방법론이 동원되었다. 핑커의 이야기에서 목소리와 행위주체성이 부정된 사람들은, 그가 평화와 진보의 사자(使者)로 그리는 서구의 정부들이 주도한 엄청난 폭력에 빈번히 고통받은 이들이다. 이는 권력에 의해 오랫동안 역사 서술에서 배제되어온 종속적 지위의 인간 집단에 역사 주체로서의 제자리를 되찾아주려는 당대의 역사인식과 심하게 괴리되어 있다. 달리 말하자면, 《우리 본성의 악한 천사》는 최근 전 세계 역사학계의 동향과 역사인식이 충실하게 반영된 역사학 개론서로도 읽을 만하다.

Since the late 1960s, the novels of Sjowall and Wahloo's Martin Beck detective series, along with the works of Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser and Stieg Larsson, have sparked an explosion of Nordic crime fiction--grim police procedurals treating urgent sociopolitical issues affecting the contemporary world. Steeped in noir techniques and viewpoints, many of these novels are reaching international audiences through film and television adaptations. This reference guide introduces the world of Nordic crime fiction to English-speaking readers. Caught between the demands of conscience and societal strictures, the detectives in these stories--like the heroes of Norse mythology--know that they and their world must perish, but fight on regardless of cost. At a time of bleak eventualities, Nordic crime fiction interprets the bitter end as a celebration of the indomitable human spirit.

Nordic Elites in Transformation, c. 1050-1250, Volume II explores the structures and workings of social networks within the elites of medieval Scandinavia to reveal the intricate relationship between power and status. Section one of this volume categorizes basic types of personal bonds, both vertical and horizontal, while section two charts patterns of local, regional and transnational elite networks from wide-scope, longitudinal perspectives. Finally, the third section turns to case-studies of networks in action, analyzing strategies and transactions implied by uses of social resources in specific micro-political settings. A concluding chapter discusses how social power in the North compared to wider European experiences. A wide range of sources and methodologies is applied to reveal how networks were established, maintained, and put to use – and how they transformed in processes of centralizing power and formalizing hierarchies. The engagement with and analysis of intriguing primary source material has produced a key teaching tool for instructors and essential reading for students interested in the workings of medieval Scandinavia, elite class structures, and Social and Political History more generally.

Bioarchaeologists who study human remains in ancient, historic and contemporary settings are securely anchored within anthropology as anthropologists, yet they have not taken on the pundits the way other subdisciplines within anthropology have. Popular science authors frequently and selectively use bioarchaeological data on demography, disease, violence, migration and diet to buttress their poorly formed arguments about general trends in human behavior and health, beginning with our earliest ancestors. While bioarchaeologists are experts on these subjects, bioarchaeology and bioarchaeological approaches have largely remained invisible to the public eye. Current issues such as climate change, droughts, warfare, violence, famine, and the effects of disease are media mainstays and are subjects familiar to bioarchaeologists, many of whom have empirical data and informed viewpoints, both for topical exploration and also for predictions based on human behavior in deep time. The contributions in this volume will explore the how and where the data has been misused, present new ways of using evidence in the service of making new discoveries, and demonstrate ways that our long term interdisciplinarity lends itself to transdisciplinary wisdom. We also consider possible reasons for bioarchaeological invisibility and offer advice concerning the absolute necessity of bioarchaeologists speaking out through social media.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo meets Sharp Objects in this internationally bestselling psychological thriller, for fans of Jo Nesbø and Henning Mankell, now for the first time in English. Danish journalist Heloise Kaldan is in the middle of a nightmare. One of her sources has been caught lying, and she could lose her job over it. Then she receives the first in a series of cryptic and unsettling letters from a woman named Anna Kiel. Wanted in connection with the fatal stabbing of a young lawyer three years earlier, Anna hasn't been seen by anyone since she left the crime scene covered in blood. The police think she's fled the country until homicide detective Erik Scháfer comes up with a lead after the reporter who originally wrote about the case is found murdered in his apartment. Has Anna Kiel struck again, or is there more than one killer at large? And why does every clue point directly to Heloise Kaldan? Meanwhile, the letters keep coming, and they hint at a connection between Anna and Heloise. As Heloise starts digging deeper, she realizes that to tell Anna's story she will have to revisit the darkest parts of her own past--confronting someone she swore she'd never see again. The Corpse Flower is the first in the #1 bestselling Danish crime series, the Kaldan and Scháfer mysteries.

Why do some modern societies punish their offenders differently to others? Why are some more punitive and others more tolerant in their approach to offending and how can these differences be explained? Based on extensive historical analysis and fieldwork in the penal systems of England, Australia and New Zealand on the one hand and Finland, Norway and Sweden on the other, this book seeks to answer these questions. The book argues that the penal differences that currently exist between these two clusters of societies emanate from their early nineteenth-century social arrangements, when the Anglophone societies were dominated by exclusionary value systems that contrasted with the more inclusionary values of the Nordic countries. The development of their penal programmes over this two hundred year period, including the much earlier demise of the death penalty in the Nordic countries and significant differences between the respective prison rates and prison conditions of the two clusters, reflects the continuing influence of these values. Indeed, in the early 21st century these differences have become even more pronounced. John Pratt and Anna Eriksson offer a unique contribution to this topic of growing importance: comparative research in the history and sociology of punishment. This book will be of interest to those studying criminology, sociology, punishment, prison and penal policy, as well as professionals working in prisons or in the area of penal policy across the six societies that feature in the book.
