Escaping court martial for sodomy
This article reassesses the sailing Royal Navy’s treatment of homoerotic crimes. Historians have argued that same-gender sexual contact was rare and loathed on naval vessels, and that trials were consequently uncommon but produced exceedingly harsh outcomes. Drawing on new archival research, this paper reveals that naval actors had more varied and complex attitudes towards the homoerotic and that courts treated these crimes more moderately on ave…
Janet Weston. Medicine, The Penal System and Sexual Crimes in England, 1919–1960s
Janet Weston’s new book explores the medicalization of sexual crime in English criminal justice in the half century between the close of World War I and the Sexual Offences Act 1967. Her work carefully teases out how medical researchers and practitioners claimed expertise over that subset of male sexual offenders whose crimes they understood to proceed from psychological abnormality. The arc of her narrative covers a “modest golden age” in resear…

The book combines traditional approaches to legal and medico-legal history with methods and questions derived from cultural history and the social history of medicine to enter into conversations with a wide range of subfields and research areas—from feminist leg…

Indeed, some have argued that there was little discussion of the topic in naval circles altogether. This article shows that there was in fact deep engagement with, and a great deal of naval discourse about, contemporary thought regarding homoerotic practices and the men who engaged in them. It focuses on three…
Roy Porter Student Prize Essay The Bounds of Domestic Healing

It shows that their compilers frequently selected recipes that promised to allow them to address a wide range of surgical ailments, to heal serious surgical conditions medicinally, and to avoid invasive interventions. Claims of remedies' virtues and stories of their successes imagined …
