This book is a comparative quantitative analysis of the
administration of justice across four English and three Welsh
counties between 1760 and 1830. Drawing on a dataset of over 22,000
indictments, the book explores the similarities and differences
between how the so-called Bloody Code was administered between, on
the one hand, England and Wales, and, on the other, individual
English and Welsh counties. The book is structured in two sections
that trace the criminal justice process in England and Wales
respectively. The first chapter in each section examines the
pattern of indictments in the respective counties, and explores the
crimes for which men and women were indicted, the verdicts handed
down, and the sentences passed. The second chapter then explores
patterns of sentences of death, executions and pardons for those
capitally convicted of serious crimes against the person and forms
of property offences.
