Judith Flanders, Rites of Passage
Mortality is one of the great levellers of human existence, yet the question of when in our lives and in what circumstances we are confronted by death, and the manner in which we choose to think, talk—and sometimes write—about it have varied enormously over time, between societies, and even within them. Judith Flanders’s new book, Rites of Passage: Death and Mourning in Victorian Britain, explores these issues for Victorian Britain. As historians…
L’expertise médicale et légale dans l’émergence de la criminologie en Grande-Bretagne (1870-1918)
L’étude scientifique systématique du criminel en Grande-Bretagne a coïncidé avec la mise en place d’un corps médical dans les prisons pour forçats du pays. Les premiers postes furent pourvus dans les années 1840. Il faut attendre le vote d’une loi, en 1850, sur les prisons pour forçats (Act for the Better Government of Convict Prisons) et la nomination d’une direction centrale professionnelle pour que l’on puisse parler d’un véritable service méd…
The Impact of Criminal Anthropology in Britain (1880-1918)
Only one book devoted entirely to the theories of Cesare Lombroso was published in Britain in the period 1880-1918, and that is The Criminal, by Havelock Ellis. In his book, Ellis noted the paradox of the British reaction to criminal anthropology. While researching the book, he had canvassed opinion among criminal justice professionals on the subject, hoping to garner home-grown reactions to the impassioned criminological debates taking place at …
The Role of Medico-legal Expertise in the Emergence of Criminology in Britain (1870-1918)
The beginning of the systematic scientific study of the Criminal in Britain coincided with the emergence of a corps of professional medical officers in the country’s convict prisons. Although the first appointments were made in the 1840s, it was not until the passage of the Act for the Better Government of Convict Prisons in 1850 and the creation of a central Directorate of Convict Prisons that a fully-fledged prison medical service came into exi…
L’impact de l’anthropologie criminelle en Grande-Bretagne (1880-1918)
Un seul ouvrage consacré aux théories de Cesare Lombroso parut en Grande-Bretagne dans la période 1880-1914, The Criminal de Havelock Ellis (Ellis, 1890) ; il soulignait le paradoxe des réactions britanniques à la criminologie continentale. Dans ses recherches, H. Ellis avait interrogé les autorités pénitentiaires britanniques, espérant obtenir leurs réactions face aux théories qui avaient suscité tant de débats passionnés en Europe continentale.…

Exploring the History of French Criminology (1885-1939)
French Criminology: In Search of a History In order to understand the history of French criminology, it is vital to pay close attention to the specificities of the national context; in particular to the way in which criminology became institutionalised as a scientific discipline, and to the historiographical tradition which has accompanied its subsequent development. An important point to note to begin with, and a frequent subject of controversy …
Effects of depression on employment and social outcomes
BACKGROUND: Depression is associated with socioeconomic disadvantage. However, whether and how depression exerts a causal effect on employment remains unclear. We used Mendelian randomisation (MR) to investigate whether depression affects employment and related outcomes in the UK Biobank dataset. METHODS: We selected 227 242 working-age participants (40-64 in men, 40-59 years for women) of white British ethnicity/ancestry with suitable genetic da…

Chalk and Cheese?'Fielden' and 'Forest' Communities in Early Modern England
This article argues that the conventional division of early modern rural England into 'fielden' and 'forest' regions serves well neither agrarian nor social historians. It is suggested that the 'fielden-forest' model is too blunt an instrument to analyse the diversity of regional farming systems, social structures and landholding patterns. Drawing upon an alternative seven-way classification of agricultural regions, a more open-ended and flexible…
