La justice médiévale et moderne fait depuis quelques années l'objet d'une lecture voire d'une relecture archéologique en Europe. Encore inédite en France, cette analyse ne se veut pas une démarche annexe de l'histoire de la justice par les textes et les images. Au contraire, elle souligne les apports des sciences archéologiques dans la façon d'évaluer et de penser la pratique judiciaire, la matérialité du droit de punir et de la contrainte pénale. Dans une réflexion liant perception de l'espace, signification et représentation sociale des vestiges, les articles que contient ce livre mettent en lumière l'architecture des lieux de jugement, d'exécution et d'emprisonnement, mais aussi les outils du bourreau et le sort des corps manipulés en justice à travers les inhumations qualifiées d'infamantes.

Qualities of Mercy deals with the history of mercy, the remittance of punishments in the criminal law. The writers probe the discretionary use of power and inquire how it has been exercised to spare convicted criminals from the full might of the law. Drawing on the history of England, Canada, and Australia in periods when both capital and corporal punishment were still practised, they show that contrary to common assumptions the past was not a time of unmitigated terror and they ask what inspired restraint in punishment. They conclude that the ability to decide who lived and died -- through the exercise or denial of mercy -- reinforced the power structure. The essays are an important contribution to current public policy debates. If today's move towards unyielding and harsher punishment proceeds, including campaigns to reinstate capital punishment, mercy alone will fail to neutralize the inequities of criminal justice. Only profound cultural shifts and transitions of sensibility have the force to stem the tide of unprecedented punitiveness.
