Crime, prosecution and social relationsthe summary courts of the City of London in the late eighteenth century /[electronic resource] :Drew D. Gray. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - xii, 228 p. :ill. ;23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction -- Locating the Summary Courts -- Policing Personnel: Constables and the Watching System -- Property Offending in the City of London -- Settling their Differences: The Prosecution of Interpersonal Violence -- Regulating the Streets -- Quelling the Smithfield Yahoos: Bullock-hunting on the Streets of London -- The Regulation of Trade and Poverty -- The People's Courts?.

Crime, Prosecution and Social Relations offers a fascinating view ofthe social history of Georgian London through the hitherto neglected prism of the Summary courts. This study looks at how rich and poor Londoners used these courts to prosecute those that assaulted or stole from them; to negotiate better working conditions; and to punish prostitutes, vagrants and disorderly apprentices. It argues that while most previous work on crime has focused on the courts of assize and quarter session, and on offences that attracted sentences of hanging and transportation, it was at Summary level that most people experienced the law in this period. This is the first monograph to deal exclusively with the nature and role of summary proceedings in England in the long eighteenth century within thecontext of the social history of crime and the criminal justice system and therefore represents an important addition to our understanding of this area of history.
