The Medieval Feminist Forum (a peer-reviewed journal located at the University of Iowa) has an article that I hope will be the first in a series, as it is highly entertaining as well as enlightening. (H/t: Medievalists.net.)
Unfortunately it is in a PDF format, but it's an engaging piece by a young scholar who is captivated by her subject.
UPDATE: Apparently this is crime and punishment day (week?) at Medievalists.net. Here's an article on forgery, and another one on more severe crimes in early Irish law.
The police blotter always makes for interesting reading, now as a thousand years ago.
