Opis

Before contraception was generally available, and when abortion was fraught with danger, infanticide was a common solution to the problem of unwanted children. Massacre of the Innocents, first published in 1986, shows the causes and consequences of the high tide of infanticide in Victorian Britain. This is a hard-hitting, scrupulously documented piece of social history. This title will be of interest to students of history and criminology.
