Quintero Olivares, G. (2017). Small penal history of Spain. Madrid: Iustel, 238 p.

Abstract

To delve into the evolution of criminal law in Spain is to make an incursion into its tormented history, in which dictatorships, massacres, republican births and princely and royal effluvia stand out. This is shown very well in the text reviewed when, throughout its pages, the author makes a tour through four chapters that go from the first stage: "From Cadiz to the First Republic", through the second: "From the Restoration to the Second Republic" and reaches the third: "From the end of the Civil War until 1978; and, of course, the last: "From the Constitution of 1978 to the C.P. of 1995".
