Publisher's Synopsis

In this welcome addition to the author's Criminal Justice History Series, Gregory Durston points to the lack of design and short-term expediency that typified much of what passed for law and order in Tudor times. He also detects signs of an emergent criminal justice system amongst the royal patronage and influence of wealthy magnates standing in the way of fairness, equality and rights of the poor, rootless or marginalised.
