Focusing on court records from London and the South West, this book examines the medical roles in trials for sexual offenses during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. By emphasizing the concept of sexual maturity, which offers a broader perspective than the legal age of consent, it provides a fresh understanding of the histories surrounding sexual crime in this period.
