Criminals, Idiots, Women And Minors

""Criminals, Idiots, Women and Minors"" is a book written by Frances Power Cobbe. Published in 1869, the book is a critical analysis of the legal system of the Victorian era and the way it treated four groups of people who were considered to be inferior and powerless in the society: criminals, idiots, women and minors. Cobbe argues that the legal system was biased against these groups and that they were often unjustly treated. She provides numerous examples of cases where criminals were punished harshly, often without a fair trial, and where women and minors were denied their rights and treated as inferior beings. The book also explores the issue of the treatment of idiots, or people with mental disabilities, who were often institutionalized and subjected to inhumane treatment. Cobbe argues that these people should be treated with compassion and dignity, and that the legal system should protect their rights. Overall, ""Criminals, Idiots, Women and Minors"" is a powerful critique of the legal system of the Victorian era and a call for reform. It is a landmark work in the history of women's rights and the fight for social justice.Criminals, Idiots, Women, And Minors. Is The Classification Sound?
