Abstract


This work attempts to examine and characterise the criminal pattern prevailing in the Kingdom of Galicia and in the old province of Santiago at the end of the Old Regime through the quantitative analysis of the judicial documentation generated by the royal court between 1700 and 1834. The interpretation of this information, and the changing nature of fines and the typology of crimes brought to judgement, need to be placed in their proper context. This demonstrates the close links between the documented criminal behaviour and the economic, social, demographic, cultural and institutional circumstances of Galicia.
