Academic interest in the history of crime and punishment has never been greater and the History of Crime, Deviance and Punishment series provides a home for the wealth of new research being produced. Individual volumes within the series cover topics related to the history of crime and punishment, from the later medieval to the modern period, in both Europe and North America and seek to demonstrate the importance of this subject in furthering understanding of the way in which various societies and cultures operate. When taken together, the works in the series will show the evolution of the nature of illegality and attitudes towards its perpetration over time and will offer their readers a rounded and coherent history of crime and punishment through the centuries. The series broad chronological and geographical coverage encourages comparative historical analysis of crime history between countries and cultures.

In the process of producing this work I have received help of many kinds. I am extremely grateful to the Arts and Humanities Research Council for the financial assistance of a Ph.D. studentship, and to the Institute of Historical Research for a bursary supporting a research trip to the London Metropolitan Archives and the National Archives. Thanks also to the International Association for the History of Crime and Criminal Justice for awarding me the Herman Diederiks prize in 2012 which allowed me to present my research at the North American Conference for British Studies in Montreal, November 2012. Most recently, financial assistance from the Wellcome Trust has been invaluable in supporting further research and helping to bring this project to fruition. Many thanks also go out to the trustees of the Marc Fitch Fund for the award of a generous publication grant, without which readers would not be able to enjoy the fantastic images included within the pages of this book.
