The Transformation of Criminal Justice: Philadelphia, 1800-1880 - Studies in Legal History
Allen Steinberg
Allen Steinberg brings to life the court-centred criminal justice system of nineteenth-century Philadelphia, chronicles its eclipse, and contrasts it to the system - dominated by the police and public prosecutor - that replaced it. He offers a major reinterpretation of criminal justice in nineteenth-century America by examining this transformation from private to state prosecution.
