Mayberry it's not.,
By W. Staples (West of 40 degrees Lon and South of 40 degrees Lat) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Village in Court: Arson, Infanticide, and Poaching in the Court Records of Upper Bavaria 1848-1910 (Hardcover)
If you want to know what is going on in a neighborhood, you read the police blotter.
This good (if pricey) work on village life in Upper Bavaria covers the period between the mid 1800s to the turn of the century. The three main types of major crime are explored in depth; what they were, why they were committed, how they were detected, and how the justice system handled them. Interestingly enough,in 19th century Bavaria, like most of Europe, poaching was viewed by those in power as a major crime. Here in the U.S., it is viewed as a high misdemeanor; only becoming a felony in extreme cases. Reading the stories of the poachers, I realized I grew up with some of these guys. |
