Medieval crime and punishment through the ages: From harsh retribution... Show more
The 18th and 19th centuries witnessed significant changes in crime and punishment, with a gradual shift towards more organized law enforcement and evolving punishment methods.
Town constables and night watchmen emerged as early forms of professional law enforcement, overseeing local areas and patrolling at night.
Vocabulary: Night Watchmen worked under the town constable, patrolling local areas between 10 pm and dawn.
This period saw the rise of specific crimes like highway robbery and smuggling, reflecting the economic and social conditions of the time.
The concept of martyrdom gained prominence, particularly in cases of religious or political persecution.
Definition: A martyr is a person who suffers for their beliefs and is often admired for their conviction.
Prison conditions became a focus of reform, with the introduction of concepts like hard labour and attempts at rehabilitation.
Example: The treadwheel was an example of hard, often inhumane work used in prisons during this period.
Significant developments in law enforcement occurred, notably the establishment of the metropolitan police by Robert Peel in 1829.
Highlight: Robert Peel, who served as Prime Minister twice, is credited with setting up the metropolitan police in 1829, marking a major step in modern policing.
Social issues like poor relief and public health conditions began to be recognized as factors influencing crime and social order.
The modern era has seen a continued evolution in approaches to crime and punishment, with a greater focus on social factors, human rights, and rehabilitation.
Political and social movements have significantly influenced criminal justice perspectives.
Vocabulary: Anarchy is a political movement that opposes all forms of organized government, while socialism advocates for government control of industries and services to benefit the poor.
The concept of hate crimes has emerged, recognizing offenses motivated by prejudice against specific groups.
Definition: A hate crime is motivated by prejudice against the victim's race, gender, disability, or sexual orientation.
Legal innovations like injunctions have provided new tools for crime prevention and victim protection.
Example: An injunction is a court order that forbids a particular action or behavior, often used in cases of harassment or domestic violence.
The justice system has increasingly recognized factors that may affect criminal responsibility, such as mental illness.
Highlight: The concept of diminished responsibility acknowledges that some individuals may not be fully in control of their actions due to factors like mental illness.
Overall, the modern era has seen a shift towards more liberal and rehabilitative approaches to crime and punishment, with a focus on addressing root causes and promoting social justice.
Quote: "Rehabilitation involves helping someone return to normal life, reflecting a shift from purely punitive approaches to crime."
The Medieval and Early Modern periods saw a range of unique approaches to crime and punishment, often characterized by harsh penalties and collective responsibility.
Vocabulary: Tithings were groups of 10 males aged 12 and over who shared responsibility for local law enforcement.
Law enforcement during this time relied heavily on community involvement. The hue and cry system required local bystanders to assist in catching criminals, while parish constables served as unpaid, part-time law enforcement officers.
Example: The introduction of parish constables in 1285 marked an early attempt at organized law enforcement.
Religious influence was significant in the justice system of this era. Concepts like sanctuary and benefit of clergy provided some protections for accused individuals.
Definition: Sanctuary allowed accused individuals to seek protection in a church for up to 40 days.
Crimes such as heresy and treason were considered particularly serious, often resulting in severe punishments.
Highlight: The "Bloody Code" exemplified the harsh attitude towards law-making, with 50 capital crimes established by 1688.
This period also saw the emergence of transportation as a form of punishment, sending convicts to colonies abroad.
Quote: "Transportation involved being sent away from England to serve a period of punishment in a colony abroad."

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
