Madness, Murder and Mayhem

Criminal Insanity in Victorian and Edwardian Britain

John Burt, Kathryn Burtinshaw

Terms such as idiot or feebleminded seem now to be imprecise and insulting but had specific meanings in the 19th-century criminal justice system. This analysis of Victorian crime reviews dozens of cases where the perpetrators were considered insane or used insanity in their defence, and also examines the stories of some of the first inmates of the new ‘criminal lunatic’ asylums such as Broadmoor.
