Description:

Eric Jackson - 'Crime and Punishment - from the Anglo-Saxons to present day'

A journey through crime and punishment from the time of Alfred the Great up to the present day.

What crimes were committed in Saxon England and how were they dealt with, the development of the jury system to replace trial by ordeal or combat. Punishments of old, the arrival of the Normans, some typical cases from the middle ages and later 18th century. The establishment of the Quarter Sessions and Assizes, the introduction of prison as the principal means of punishment. Capital punishment and its abolition.

Until 2016 Eric had been a magistrate for twenty four years and he has a keen interest in the history of the office of Justice of the Peace.
