Everyday Violence in Britain, 1850-1950 by Shani D'cruze
This collection looks at the historical experience of violence, and at the ways in which it has been used as a means of gaining power in social relations. It examines how violent behaviour has been used by some social groups against others, the way in which institutions, politicians and the professions have treated violence, and how it has been represented in literature and wider culture.'..this collection of essays is a stimulating and informative addition to the history of interpersonal violence. And not least because it draws important parallels between Victorian and present-day authorities and their preoccupation with the 'culture of male violence' and the devastating impact it had, and continues to have, upon the community.'
Claire McQuoid, the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies Reviews
'The essays are tightly focused and engaging...an indspensible work'
