项目摘要

Throughout history, there has been a link between epidemic disease and increased criminal activity. Despite this, theBlack Death, potentially the greatest disaster prior to the twentieth century has been understudied in terms of crime. Iwould like to discover if there was an increase in crime during the Black Death in 1348-50, and in the second pestilenceof 1361. I have chosen the period c.1340-c.1360 as it offers a picture of crime before, after and during the epidemics.However, it ensures that my research is not spread too thinly and that I am able to consider a number of different courts.There is a gap in the historiography on late medieval crime. I have a wealth of primary sources: firstly, the gaol deliveryrolls who heard all cases of people in prison awaiting trial, secondly the pleas from the King's Bench, which was thepremier criminal court, and finally, the local, manorial court records who dealt with minor crimes. Barbara Hanawalt hascompleted a similar study for the early fourteenth century but has received criticism as her work was limited to the gaoldelivery rolls. This topic is a progression from my MPhil research, which is looking at law and order during the BlackDeath. Therefore, I have a sound grasp of period, methodology, historiography and the relevant sources. I would like tocontinue under the supervision of Dr Christopher Briggs and would welcome collaboration with the Centre for EnglishLegal History as my work falls within its remit

纵观历史，流行病与犯罪活动增加之间一直存在联系。尽管如此，黑死病可能是二十世纪之前最大的灾难，但人们对犯罪的研究却很少。我想知道在 1348-50 年的黑死病和 1361 年的第二次瘟疫期间，犯罪率是否有所增加。我选择了约 1340 年 - 约 1360 年这一时期，因为它提供了流行病之前、之后和期间的犯罪情况。但是，它确保了我的研究不会过于分散，并且我能够考虑许多不同的法院。关于中世纪晚期的史学存在空白犯罪。我有大量的主要资料来源：首先，监狱的送审员审理了所有在监狱中等待审判的人的案件，其次是国王法庭（即首席刑事法院）的请求，最后是处理轻微犯罪的当地庄园法庭记录。芭芭拉·哈纳瓦特 (Barbara Hanawalt) 在 14 世纪初完成了一项类似的研究，但由于她的工作仅限于监狱长卷而受到批评。这个主题是我的哲学硕士研究的进展，该研究关注的是黑死病期间的法律和秩序。因此，我对时期、方法论、史学和相关资料都有很好的把握。我想继续在克里斯托弗·布里格斯博士的监督下工作，并欢迎与英国法律史中心合作，因为我的工作属于其职权范围
