Reviews

Making Murder Public significantly advances our understanding of the making of a larger collective in England during the Early Modern period. It is far more than just a book about crime and should be read widely. It is also well written and richly documented. * Samuel Clark, University of Western Ontario, Canadian Journal of History *
