Book Synopsis Crime and Justice in Early Modern England by : Gregory Durston
Download or read book Crime and Justice in Early Modern England written by Gregory Durston. This book was released on 2004-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although, in recent decades, the study of England's early modern crime problems and its criminal justice system has flourished, there has been a general tendency for existing studies to focus either on crime, largely the province of social historians, or procedure, which is frequently left to legal historians. However, the two were inextricably interlinked: crimes were primarily defined by their legal consequences and trials were shaped by the social background to offences. The aim of Gregory Durston's book is to treat the subject holistically, from initial deviance, via detection, arrest and prosecution to final penal disposal. Thus, crime, policing, court structure, criminal trial procedure and punishment are each given detailed consideration in this tripartite study. Additionally, in a field that has become increasingly dominated by micro-histories at the expense of geographically and chronologically broader studies, Dr. Durston aims to explore wider themes while also providing a thorough account of the era's crime problems and justice system.
