The author attempts to discover if modern day statistics of crime are similar to the crimes committed by medieval peasants by reviewing medieval crime records. The paper seeks to answer the question: Was there a correlation between poverty and crime for medieval peasants? The author discovers this correlation upon many other topics, such as who was more likely to commit a crime, and the role women played in the medieval crime system.
