Against the backdrop of significant legislative changes that fundamentally altered the face of Scots law, Anne-Marie Kilday examines contemporary attitudes towards serious offences against the person committed by women.\u003cbr\u003e She draws particularly on rich and varied court records to explores female criminality and judicial responses to it in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.Through a series of case studies of homicide, infanticide, assault, popular disturbances and robbery, she argues that Scottish women were more predisposed to violence than their counterparts south of the border and considers how this relates to the contemporary drive to  civilise' popular behaviour and to promote a more ordered society.\u003cbr\u003e The book thus challenges conventional feminist interpretations that see women principally as the victims of male-controlled economies, institutions and power structures, and calls for a major re-evaluation of the scope and significance of female criminality in this era. It will be ofinterest to scholars, students and those interested in the fields of gender studies, social history and the history of crime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ANNE-MARIE KILDAY is Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and Professor of Criminal History at Oxford Brookes University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne-Marie Kilday\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0861933303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780861933303\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 06\/18\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.41d","brand":"Anne-Marie Kilday","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896494416127,"sku":"9780861933303","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c423dae-a5c1-4c9d-970b-a096051f2802.jpg?v=1721371554","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-and-violent-crime-in-anne-marie-kilday-9780861933303","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
