Abstract
[From the introduction:]This thesis explores capital punishment from 1700-1934 in one English locality, Hull. A series of questions are addressed throughout this dissertation in order to understand the role of the criminal justice system in Hull. These are: to what extent was capital punishment utilised in Hull in this period; what views, if any, can be uncovered regarding capital punishment in this locality; and, how does local experience fit into reforms in the criminal justice system in this period. This in-depth study will also consider contributions that one locality gives to current debates of the Bloody Code in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-centuries, and also the relatively unexplored perception of capital punishment behind prison walls during the twentieth-century. By focussing new research around these questions, this study demonstrates how the criminal justice system operated in Hull, making great use of the Quarter Sessions and newspapers to suggest Hull’s autonomy as a judicial centre in the eighteenth-century, and how it conformed to national reforms in the nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries as the power of the central state expanded over peripheral settlements.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
