    How Wild Was It? An Overview of Crime and Justice in Arizona Territory

    Presented by Prescott Public Library at Prescott Public Library

    July 17, 2011

    Writers often use sensational anecdotes to describe conditions in the Trans-Mississippi West during the 1800s. The West, these incidents suggest, was a violent and crime-ridden place where ineffective criminal justice institutions forced citizens to take the law into their own hands. Paul Hietter's presentation provides a fascinating glimpse into the Arizona Territory's justice system using data from court cases and newspapers, and explores the types of crimes most commonly committed and the justice system's response to them.
