It has long been suggested that poverty was responsible for a
criminal underclass emerging in Britain during the nineteenth
century. Until quite recently, historians did little to challenge
this perception. Using innovative quantitative and qualitative data
analysis techniques, this book looks in detail at some of the
causal factors that motivated the poorer classes to commit crime,
or act in ways that transgressed acceptable standards of behaviour.
It demonstrates how the strategies that these individuals employed
varied between urban and rural environments, and shows how the poor
railed against legislative reforms that threatened the solvency of
their households. In the process, this book provides the first
solid appreciation of the complex relationship between crime and
poverty in two distinct socio-economic regions between 1830 and
1885.
