Re-negotiating the bloody code: the Gordon riots and the transformation of popular attitudes to the criminal justice system
chapter
posted on 2023-06-08, 16:30 authored by Tim HitchcockThis chapter seeks to place the Gordon Riots in the context of the evolving relationship between the London working class and the state; and illustrate how a representative group of Londoners, the men and women tried at the Old Bailey, redefined their relationship with that particular court, and in the process with the broader criminal justice system. It will explore how a bunch of criminals and vagrants or at least defendants, could fundamentally affect the process of historical change; and how the Gordon Riots helped provide the catalyst for that change.
