The book studies a wide array of crime, including petty wrongdoings, sexual offenses, serial homicides, organized crime and modern-day piracy as well as punishments doled out by lawmakers across the world, such as stoning, poison hemlock, forced amputations, and flagellation.

He also examines the evolution of punishment and why certain prohibitions and activities have been punished across the historical continuum. Using a global perspective, Roth examines the creation of laws to uphold a sense of security, justice, and retribution, and the importance of these laws in different cultures and societies. “An Eye for an Eye” traces crime and punishment from early civilization to the present, chronicling practices that emerged along the way. His book, “Crime and Punishment: A History of the Criminal Justice System,” was translated into Farsi. This is not the first time that Roth has been published in another language. “It’s flattering that they would have an interest in the book in those countries.” This is the first one-volume monograph to explore crime and punishment over the millennia in mostly non-Western countries. The book chronicles the history of crime and punishment across the world. “An Eye for an Eye: A Global History of Crime and Punishment,” originally released in 2015, recently has been re-published in Croatian and Turkish language editions. Sam Houston State University’s Professor Mitchel Roth’s book on the history of crime and punishment is going global.
