Abstract

Over the course of the last forty years or so, a growing body of historical scholarship has emerged exploring various aspects of crime and the administration of justice in England and Wales during the long eighteenth century. To date, however, much of this work has been skewed heavily towards the south east of England, and particularly towards metropolitan London’s Old Bailey, and, consequently, there has been comparatively little published work on the periphery. Indeed, one geographical region of England and Wales that has generated comparatively little work in this area is Wales itself. This article will review the relatively small historiography on the administration of justice in Wales during the long eighteenth century. In doing so, it will highlight the ways in which patterns of indictments, convictions and executions were both similar and, crucially, different to those found in England during the period.
