In examining 19th-century responses to the crime problems, particularly in England and France, this seminar will explore the connections between perceptions and definitions of criminality and the broader socioeconomic, political and cultural transformations of the period. Further, it will analyze both representations of the criminal and the narratives that organized stories of crime in a variety of contemporary documents.
