Such aspects considered were contemporary opinions on the causes of crime, violent crime against person, domestic violence, violence among soldiers and settlers, the duties and responsibilities of lawmen, catching criminals, crimes against property, jails and escapes, and the summary execution of criminals who organized themselves into gangs. The characteristic of honor as it relates to Southern violence was also considered.
