Murdering Holiness
Professor Phillips is Director of the Centre of Criminology at the University of Toronto. He holds a doctorate in history as well as a law degree, and was law clerk to Madam Justice Bertha Wilson of the Supreme Court of Canada before joining the U of T in 1988. He has published on British Imperial History, Property and Trusts Law and, principally, Canadian Legal History. Professor Gartner's research focuses on violent crime, and especially violence by and against women. Her earlier book, Violence and Crime in Cross-National Perspective, won awards from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Sociological Association, and the Society for the Study of Social Problems. Professors Phillips and Gartner have just coauthored a book entitled Murdering Holiness, to be published this fall by UBC Press. In this work on a sensational double murder, trial and suicide in early twentieth century Seattle, the authors explore the relationships among formal and informal law, gender relations and religious repression.
