Abstract:
This article examines the encounters of the Ionian people with criminal justice system during the period from 1815 to 1864, when the Ionian Islands were a British protectorate. Drawing on data from cases of the Criminal Court Archives of Corfu for the first time, it argues that criminality mostly concerned the lower social classes and was not very common. Using violence as a lens, the paper primarily focuses on Corfu's criminal justice system and offers quantitative and qualitative evidence on which further comparative studies of the history of law and crime in Greece and Europe at that time may be based.

Prispevek raziskuje izkušnje prebivalcev Jonskih otokov s kazenskim sistemom med letoma 1815 in 1864, ko so bili otoki pod britanskim protektoratom. S pomočjo podatkov iz arhiva krfskega kazenskega sodišča dokazuje, da so se kriminalna dejanja dogajala predvsem v nižjih socialnih slojih in niso bila redka. Prispevek se osredotoča na krfski kazenski sistem in podaja kvalitativne in kvantitativne dokaze, ki lahko služijo nadaljnjim primerjalnim študijam pravosodja in kriminala v Grčiji in Evropi v obravnavanem času.
