商品簡介
McNair (history, Kenyon College) and a former special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms examined more than 400 capital cases in his comprehensive exploration of a criminal justice system in a slave state. His study uses both narrative and quantitative analysis to examine the theory and the reality of criminal procedure for slaves in the century prior to the Civil War. The author traces the development of Georgia's legal culture through the state's use of slave codes and slave patrols, as well as information on crimes prosecuted, trial procedures, punishment, and additional relevant topics.
