People of all classes brought complaints to this court about those who had hurt, abused, or stolen from them - drunks, pickpockets, wife-beaters, and fraudsters - who were each in their turn judged by magistrates wielding broad summary powers. Delving into underexamined court records and the pages of a fast-developing newspaper industry, Drew D. Gray offers a fresh description of a vibrant, ever-changing metropolis and considers ongoing issues such as poverty, homelessness, violence, substance abuse, prostitution and - of course - crime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45921411530989,"sku":"9781789148541","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781789148541.jpg?v=1730825807","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781789148541","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
