Exploring the interplay between crime, madness, and societal perceptions in the Victorian era, this collection of essays delves into the period's fascination with criminal psychology and pathology. It examines both real cases and fictional narratives by authors like Ainsworth, Stevenson, and Stoker, highlighting evolving definitions of criminality and the influence of journalism and literature on public discourse. Topics include the criminalization of specific sexual acts, the gendering of insanity, and the impact of science and technology on crime-solving in the nineteenth century.
