| Description: |
Analysis of crime and justice in colonial America. The contributors examine colonial and criminal law and class systems in the South. The focus is on the difficulties of enforcing criminal law without a strong organizational or historical base. |
| Synopsis: |
Crime in colonial America has attracted historians for its ironies, antinomies and contradictions. The colonies, which for many English men and women offered entrepreneurial or religious opportunities, served as a prison for England; colonial law had to be the common law, but several colonies tried to implement Biblical principles; communal principles in the New England colonies conflicted with the state implied by criminal law; southern colonies depended on the subservient class system of indentures and slavery; the enforcement of criminal laws without a strong organizational or historical base is inherently difficult if not impossible; and for the historian, criminal records serve as an entre to a society often fileopietistically worshipped rather than studied by contemporary Americans. |
