Description - Everyday Violence in Britain, 1850-1950 by Shani D'Cruze
Exploring the diverse violence in Britain in the century between 1850 and 1950, this text includes sections on: everyday violence in the home (including a chapter on infanticide); the use of violence within groups of men and women outside the home (for example, violence within youth gangs, and male violence centred around pubs); how violence was regulated by the law and the professional agencies which were set up to deal with it; and how violence was written about, using both fiction and non-fiction sources. Throughout the book the recurring themes of gender, class, continuity and change, public/private, and experience, discourses and representations are highlighted.
