Men of Blood: Violence, Manliness & Criminal Justice in Victorian England - True Crime History Book for Legal Scholars & History Buffs

I’m reading this right now and planning to use it in my thesis. Wiener does an excellent job of comparing and contrasting the difference in treatment of violent women vs violent men. The sources used are solid and well, basically this book is exactly what I was hoping it would be. I’d give a more detailed book review, but really if you want to know more about domestic violence during the 19th century and how society treated it this is a great book to start with. Would recommend to students interested in a historical analysis on violence in the home (or outside of it).
