- Double-weighted statement
- This book analyses legal and social attitudes to fraud in mid-19th century Britain to trace the emergence of a distinctive conception of financial crime that continues to influence law and society. It merits double-weighting as the product of a sustained research effort spanning several years and encompassing a range of disciplines. It builds on extensive primary archival research into nineteenth century criminal trials and social attitudes, as well as the origins of legislation dealing with financial frauds in that period, and carries out its analysis by integrating theoretical frameworks, methodologies, and perspectives from three distinct disciplines: law, history, and criminology.
