Gender Petty Violence in London: 1680-1720 (HISTORY CRIME & CRIMINAL JUS)

Jennine Hurl-Eamon

4.9/5 (32212 ratings)

Description:Looking at a heretofore overlooked set of archival records of London in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Hurl-Eamon reassesses the impact of gender on petty crime and its prosecution during the period. This book offers a new approach to the growing body of work on the history of violence in past societies. By focusing upon low-cost prosecutions in minor courts, Hurl-Eamon uncovers thousands of assaults on the streets of early modern London. Previous histories stressing the masculine nature of past violence are questioned here: women perpetrated one-third of all assaults. In looking at more mundane altercations rather than the homicidal attacks studied in previous histories, the book investigates violence as a physical language, with some forms that were subject to gender constraints, but many of which were available to both men and women. Quantitative analyses of various circumstances surrounding the assaults - including initial causes, weapons used, and injuries sustained - outline the patterns of violence as a language.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
