Homicide in Early Modern England 1549-1800 : The Need for a Quantitative Synthesis
Scholars of early modern England have produced superb studies of crime and violence. Given the differences, however, in the sources, methods, and chronological range of their studies, it is difficult to construct a synthetic quantitative analysis of homicide from their findings. The essay offers a p...

Given the differences, however, in the sources, methods, and chronological range of their studies, it is difficult to construct a synthetic quantitative analysis of homicide from their findings. The essay offers a provisional quantitative synthesis of research on neonaticide and adult homicide, and argues that a comprehensive examination of the surviving evidence and an application of statistical techniques drawn from econometric and demography can lead to reliable estimates of early modern homicide rates. Les spécialistes de l'Angleterre à l'époque moderne ont produit de remarquables recherches sur la criminalité et la violence. Toutefois, en raison des différences dans les sources, les méthodes employées et les périodes étudiées, il est difficile de construire sur cette base une synthèse quantitative des résultats concernant l'homicide. Le présent article propose une synthèse provisoire des travaux sur l'infanticide et l'homicide et avance la thèse selon laquelle un examen approfondi des données existantes et l'utilisation de techniques statistiques empruntées à l'économétrie et à la démographie peut conduire à une estimation fiable des taux d'homicide à l'époque moderne. |
