I am a historian of forensic medicine and crime in Britain, focusing on the period between 1700 and the First World War. My research is interdisciplinary, drawing on law, medicine and social history of crime. I'm currently writing a monograph on medico-legal practice in England and Wales 1700-1914, based largely on case reports of interpersonal violence (especially homicide).
