The types of crimes included prostitution and thieves. In fact, there was a "...training school for young thieves in Billingsgate, where graduates could... rob a purse or a pocket without being detected" (Picard). A school for young thieves allowed thieves to steal exceptionally and possibly avoid serious punishment that came when caught stealing. The minor offences came with detrimental and torturous punishments. Although those were not sentenced to death, the punishments could be lethal. The frequent punishment for minor offenses was that of the pillory, which is where "...the criminal stood with his head and his hand through the holes in a wooden plank... as painful as the public opinion decided" (Picard). As the criminal's body was exposed and vulnerable, the public would decide what to do and how much pain would be inflicted. If the public wanted to, the criminal could be whipped brutally. Punishments, even for minor offenses, could excruciatingly painful and fatal. ]]> 2019-04-23 22:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/thngo102/ujzrckotylus/wish/353561661 thngo102 https://padlet.com/thngo102/ujzrckotylus/wish/353565931         There were many crimes that would lead to a sentence to death. These deaths could be as simple as hanging or as painful as torture. Crimes that would lead to death was that of treason and also "including buggery, stealing hawks, highway robbery and letting out of ponds... Traitors were sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered..." (Picard). Those sentenced to death was that of commonplace. Traitors were sent immediately to death by hanging, or was killed by being quartered. No matter how the traitor dies, the traitor is usually cut into pieces after hanging and these pieces are posted around London as a showcase. A significant crime would be denying "that Elizabeth was the head of the Church in England... was treason, for which the penalty was death by hanging... [first,] torture, to discover any fellow-plotters" (Picard). Torture was a common theme when incorporating punishment. The plotters that would be exposed would also be sent to death. The Elizabethan Times was a time full of crimes, yet also with harsh punishments that involved much torture and death. ]]> 2019-04-23 23:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/thngo102/ujzrckotylus/wish/353565931 thngo102 https://padlet.com/thngo102/ujzrckotylus/wish/353569704 “Crime and Punishment in Elizabethan England.” The British Library, The British Library, 15 Mar. 2016, www.bl.uk/shakespeare/articles/crime-and-punishment-in-elizabethan-england.
