Use Old Bailey Online guide to “Doing Statistics” https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/about/doingstatistics and the “Statistical
Search” interface https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/search/statistical to generate a data set that you will analyze in 1500 words or less
(plus notes and bibliography). Define a question for the period 1750-1900 which returns at least ten results, document the question
fully and download the statistical data. Before you close the browser, select at least three associated trial accounts to incorporate (and
cite!) in your project. This analysis will be supported by at least one more scholarly source for crime history beyond the website.
Document all of your work in the Chicago Manual of Style notes/bibliography format.
Contemplate what kind of questions you will ask and answer with the website data. Will you study how men and women are
punished differently by the court, if verdicts involving elderly victims changed over time, if legislative or social changes affected trials
or verdicts for certain crimes, or something else? Try some searches to see what’s possible. Sometimes you hit a dead end and must
widen your search parameters to get enough results. Conversely, thousands of results can be overwhelming. Some data can be studied
as a time-series (by year or decade) showing change over time. Other searches highlight differences in a certain era or subcategory
