Week 2: 'Early Modern' Crime




Harsh Treatment of Beggars in Elizabethan Times

This week we will be looking at typically 'Early Modern' crimes such as poaching, begging, vagrancy and  smuggling.

How similar are these crimes to ones committed today? How are crimes shaped by the social and economic background against which they take place? Also how 'political' are crimes?

Reminder: Late Medieval Crime Assignment is due in on Friday
