Zusatztext "From the moment I started to read this book! I knew it was something special. Masculinity and criminal justice are lacking in academic attention! not least historically! and this book fills the gap nicely. Its eloquent descriptions of the cases and contexts! coupled with its excellent explanations of terminology and the addition of interesting pictures from the times! make it a book that anyone could pick up and read! and was truly fascinating. I would recommend it highly." Jennifer Sloan- Senior Lecturer in Crimonology! Sheffiled Hallam Univeristy!

Klappentext Binding Men tells stories about men, violence and law in late Victorian England. It does so by focusing upon five important legal cases, all of which were binding not only upon the males involved but also upon future courts and the men who appeared before them. The subject matter and accessible style make it essential reading for scholars and students of crime, criminal law, violence, and gender.
