Charlie Peace: Criminal Fall, Cultural Rise: Spring into action
http://charliepeace.blogspot.com/2009/02/spring-into-action.html
If you are interested in any further reading for this course relating to crime history, the following titles contain some of the major debates related to 19c. crime, policing and penal reform. Some of these are now considered to be 'outdated' but do contain lots of interesting detail. If I were to select one author as a starting point then I would probably plum for Elmsley. Crime and Society in England, 1750-1900. Crime and Authority in Victorian England. 8216;The Sad Story of George Hall: Adultery, Murd...

Charlie Peace: Criminal Fall, Cultural Rise: Cancellation of Session
http://charliepeace.blogspot.com/2009/02/cancellation-of-session.html
With the current weather forecast predicting more snow for Weds and Thurs it would seem best that we cancel the session for this week. I realise that a number of people are travelling long distances to attend the course and it would be dangerous to drive in the evening as roads freeze up. If you read this please inform friends of yours who are travelling to the course. Posted by Ian Robertson. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is the multi author blog for the WEA course:.

Just a few notes about blog and web sites that contain information related to the course. Can I start with a good blog that details some of Tasmania's criminal and prison records. Good article on UK criminal photographs and related items to transportation. A good site on Victorian crime can be found at:. Http:/ www.victorianlondon.org/crime/representations.htm.

Charlie Peace: Criminal Fall, Cultural Rise: Book
http://charliepeace.blogspot.com/2009/02/book.html
If you are new to Peace story, a good starting point for your research would be David Ward's. Book: ' King of the Lags, The Story of Charlie Peace'. This has long been out of print but it is available through Sheffield City Libraries. The book can still be bought on Amazon for around £4 in hardback, which is a bargain - these are usually old library copies. Click on the link below for more details. King of the Lags: Story of Charles Peace (Classic crime). By David Ward (Hardcover - 25 May 1989).

Charlie Peace: Criminal Fall, Cultural Rise: Discipline and Punish
http://charliepeace.blogspot.com/2009/02/discipline-and-punish.html
Michel Foucalt - 'Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison' (Penguin Books 1995). Although it was published nearly 40 years ago, Michel Foucalt's book on the 'History' of 19th century prison 'reform' is still a highly provoking read. If you are interested in the context to the Peace story - then this account of penal reform is worth reading. Foucalt's classic opening to the book, detailing the 'bloody code' is often quoted:. Jesus, help me! Monsieur Le Breton, the clerk of the court, went up to the...

Charlie Peace: Criminal Fall, Cultural Rise: Media History
http://charliepeace.blogspot.com/2009/03/media-history.html
Last session we looked briefly at Peace from 1872 onwards. The killing of PC Cock in Manchester was proceeded quickly by the killing of Arthur Dyson. We shall continue next session with the double homicide and also look at Peace's flight to London and his the new life he establishes there. The later sessions of the Peace story centre more upon the social and cultural history of the media. I have included in the post three titles that serve as good starting points to 19c media history to 19c media history.
