在英国历史的大部分时间里，可判处死刑的罪犯也会被没收其财产。本文概述了这种长期被忽视的做法，展示了它一直延续到 1870 年，描述了它的轮廓，并绘制了它随时间变化的方式和原因。它主要旨在作为未来工作的平台，它还阐明了重罪概念的历史。此外，没收——重罪最初的定义特征——都与财产有关。因此，文章还表明，只要没收仍然存在，刑法就会受到“财产”本身性质变化的影响。
For much of English history, offenders punishable with death also forfeited their possessions. This article offers an overview of this long overlooked practice, demonstrating its continuation through to 1870, describing its contours, and charting how and why it changed over time. Intended primarily as a platform for future work, it also elucidates the history of the felony concept. Furthermore, forfeiture – the original, defining feature of felony – was all about property. Thus, the article also suggests that as long as forfeiture survived, the criminal law was shaped by the changing nature of ‘property’ itself.
