Book Synopsis
Examines the interactions between families, the legal system, and doctors involved in the regulation of deviance in nineteenth-century Montreal. Moving away from the traditional focus on institutions, this book looks at the family - rather than the state or the medical profession - as the primary site for defining 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."
