Includes bibliographical references. This dissertation provides a quantitative analysis of various fields drawn directly from the Cape's criminal records of the 1730s, from which a database was created. [It] highlights hypotheses of unequal treatment, separates out various groups according to their social status and investigates the differences in crimes and punishment methods over this period. It outlines correlational trends between status and crime as well as status and punishment and based on these findings sets out to investigate possibilities for why these trends arise. The dissertation examines the role players in the criminal procedure, most notably the Independent Fiscals, charged with overseeing all criminal investigations at the Cape. It then goes on to investigate punishment methods, the role of punishment and the implement- ation of different punishments based on certain crimes. 2014-12-26T14:20:48Z 2014-12-26T14:20:48Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10147 eng application/pdf Department of Historical Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
