In this important study, Trevor Dean examines the history of crime
and criminal justice in Italy from the mid-thirteenth to the end of
the fifteenth century. The book contains studies of the most
frequent types of prosecuted crime such as violence, theft and
insult, along with the rarely prosecuted sorcery and sex crimes.
Drawing on a diverse and innovative range of sources, including
legislation, legal opinions, prosecutions, chronicles and works of
fiction, Dean demonstrates how knowledge of the history of criminal
justice can illuminate our wider understanding of the Middle Ages.
Issues and instruments of criminal justice reflected the structure
and operation of state power; they were an essential element in the
evolution of cities and they provided raw material for fictions.
Furthermore, the study of judicial records provides insight into a
wide range of social situations, from domestic violence to the
oppression of ethnic minorities.
