Title
Fous, prodigues et ivrognes : familles et déviance à Montréal au XIXe siècle
Abstract
Through the analysis of nearly 500 legal prohibition proceedings between 1820 and 1895, the author examines the interactions between the actors involved in the regulation of deviance: families, judiciary, institutions and asylums doctors. He concludes that the family - not the state, the medical profession or asylum - was the main place of definition and regulation of various forms of deviance.
