内容説明
The criminal law has often been seen as central to the rule of the eighteenth-century landed -lite in England. This book presents a detailed analysis of the judicial processs - of victims’ reactions， pretrial practices， policing， magistrates hearings， trials， sentencing， pardoning and punishment - using property offenders as its main focus. The period 1740-1820 - the final era before the coming of the new police and the repeal of the capital code - emerges as the great age of discretionary justice， and the book explores the impact of the vast discretionary powers held by many social groups. It reassesses both the relationship between crime rates and the economic deprivation， and the many ways that vulnerability to prosecution varied widely across the lifecycle， in the light of the highly selective nature of pretrial negotiations. More centrally， by asking at every stage - who used the law， for what purposes， in whose interests and with what social effects - it opens up a number of new perspectives on the role of the law in eighteenth-century social relations. The law emerges as less the instrument of particular -lite groups and more as an arena of struggle， of negotiation， and of compromise. Its rituals were less controllable and its merciful moments less manageable and less exclusively available to the gentry -lite than has been previously suggested. Justice was vulnerable to power， but was also mobilised to constrain it. Despite the key functions that the propertied fulfilled， courtroom crowds， the counter-theatre of the condemned， and the decisions of the victims from a very wide range of backgrounds had a role to play， and the criteria on which decisions were based were shaped as much by the broad and more humane discourse which Fielding called the ’good mind’ as by the instrumental needs of the propertied -lites.
Book Description
The criminal law has often been seen as central to the rule of the 18th century landed elite. Within detailed studies of every stage of the criminal process this volume explores key issues such as who used the law， for what purposes and with what effects It then challenges the view that the law was primarily the instrument of a small elite， portraying it instead as an arena of struggle， negotiation and compromise used by many different social groups. The criminal justice system may have sometimes been vulnerable to power but it was also useful in limiting it.
