Book Synopsis
Based on an analysis of over 500 interdiction proceedings initiated between 1820 and 1895, this book examines the interactions between the families, the legal system, and doctors involved in the regulation of deviance in 19th-century Montreal. It looks at the family as the primary site for defining and regulating a range of deviant behaviours.

Nancy Christie, co-author of Mapping the Margins: The Family and Social Discipline in Canada, 1700-1975 "Nootens's cutting edge perspective and focus on interdiction law enables him to critically reassess long-held views on the history of deviance."
