Fragile Foundations : The Application Of English Criminal Law To Crimes Committed In New Zealand Between 1826 And 1907
Hardback Edition: 1
The arrival of Europeans in Aotearoa brought about an inevitable clash between the laws and values of Maori societies and those of the newcomers.
Like a subduction zone between two tectonic plates, each pressing against the other, this clash led to ruptures, often with long-term consequences. This ground-breaking book examines a series of notable criminal trials in order to understand how the indiscriminate application of English criminal law in New Zealand during the 19th century shaped the landscape of contemporary society..
