Sexual Forensics in Victorian and Edwardian England: Age, Crime and Consent in the Courts

By Victoria Bates

Drawing on court records from London and the South West, Sexual Forensics in Victorian and Edwardian England explores medical roles in trials for sexual offences. Its focus on sexual maturity, a more flexible concept than the legal age of consent, enables histories of sexual crime to be seen in a new light.
