Crime in the City: Kilkenny in 1845: Maynooth Studies in Local History

Autor Fergal O'Donoghue, Fergal Donoghue
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 dec 2015
This book investigates crime and sentencing at petty sessions, quarter sessions, and assizes in Ireland's Kilkenny city in 1845. It begins with an examination of life in the city in the period immediately prior to the Famine. Through a review of existing sanitary accounts, the census and records of local and central government, levels of unemployment, housing, and population density are studied in order to determine if living conditions were factors in levels and types of crime. The justice system at the time and the role and development of the courts are examined. A thorough account of crime and sentencing is presented that recidivism, the act of repeat offending, was harshly punished as was the theft of personal property, which resulted in five individuals being sentenced to transportation. Vagrancy, petty crime, and drunkenness were rife, but overall, the city was in a very peaceable condition immediately prior to the devastation of the Famine.
