{"product_id":"gender-crime-and-judicial-discretion-deirdre-palk-9780861932825","title":"Gender, Crime and Judicial Discretion, 1780-1830","description":"Crimes in England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were both committed and judged differently, depending on whether the culprit was male or female.\u003cbr\u003e Based on a wide range of primary material, this book follows the journeys of men and women implicated in the capital crimes of shoplifting, pickpocketing and distributing forged banknotes, through their trials and on to death, transportation, imprisonment or even to complete freedom. This study of the English judicial system in London provides a detailed view of its complex workings, with particular attention to the role, and apparently more lenient treatment, of women. The evidence presented also sheds light on the complex decision-making policies of a criminal justice administration burdened by the weight of increasing criminal business.\u003cbr\u003e DEIRDRE PALK is an independent researcher in eighteenth and nineteenth-century social and administrativehistory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deirdre Palk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 086193282X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780861932825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Deirdre Palk","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120398037247,"sku":"9780861932825","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6baf0529-e92d-4496-9c23-f80e359ec65b.jpg?v=1687414094","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-crime-and-judicial-discretion-deirdre-palk-9780861932825","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
