Everyday Crime, Criminal Justice and Gender in Early Modern Bologna
Female protagonists are commonly overlooked in the history of crime; especially in early modern Italy, where women’s scope of action is often portrayed as heavily restricted.

Based on over two thousand criminal complaints and investigation dossiers, Sann…

Dissecting the Criminal Corpse Staging Post-Execution Punishment in Early Mo…
Those convicted of homicide were hanged on the public gallows before being dissected under the Murder Act in Georgian England. Yet, from 1752, whether criminals actually died on the hanging tree or in the dissection room remained a medical mystery in early modern society. Dissecting the Criminal Corpse takes issue with the historical cliché of corpses dangling from the hangman’s rope in crim…
