Drawing on court records from London and the South West, Sexual Forensics in Victorian and Edwardian England explores medical roles in trials for sexual offences. Its focus on sexual maturity, a more flexible concept than the legal age of consent, enables histories of sexual crime to be seen in a new light.

Victoria Bates is Lecturer in Modern History at the University of Bristol, UK. She has a particular research interest in the social and cultural history of medicine in modern Britain, including medico-legal history and medical humanities.
