The book explores the reform of Catholic religious orders following the Council of Trent, highlighting how monasteries in central Europe addressed crime and discipline among their members. It reveals the use of criminal law traditions, including torture and imprisonment, to maintain order. Ulrich L. Lehner's comprehensive overview raises critical questions about state-church relations, gender dynamics, the history of violence, and the evolution of modern monastic practices, making it a significant contribution to these fields of study.
