Crime and Law Enforcement in the Colony of New York, 1691-1776

by Douglas Greenberg and Douglas S. Greenberge

Book Overview

The winner of the first New York State Historical Association Manuscript Award, this book is a fascinating attempt to show how criminal behavior fits into the society in which it occurs. Through a computer-assisted analysis of some 5,300 eighteenth-century court cases, Douglas Greenberg explores larger problems of social change and development in what was considered the most fractious of all Britain's North American colonies: New York.
