Prison and Plantation : Crime, Justice, and Authority in Massachusetts and South Carolina, 1767-1878 Paperback / softback
by Michael S. Hindus
Part of the Studies in Legal History series
Paperback / softback
Description
This broad, comparative study examines the social, economic, and legal contexts of crime and authority in two vastly different states over a one hundred year period.
Massachusetts--an urban, industrial, and heterogeneous northern state--chose the penitentiary in its attempt to minimise the role of informal and extra legal authority while South Carolina--a rural southern slave state--systematically reduced its formal legal institutions, frequently relying on vigilantism. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
These editions are published unaltered from the original, and are presented in affordable paperback formats, bringing readers both historical and cultural value.
