age_group stuff started

Posted by on 02 Dec 2014 in Activity Log

Have modified code in dev site to read the age_group_id_fk value in (int between 0 and 7). That piece of information is only of use in the chart view, where I hope to use it instead of the raw age to group trials. Have yet to figure out: - what I really want isn't the id_fk value, but the value in the age_groups table. Not sure how to do that in the context (i.e. for use by the plotting library Jamie selected). - how to work with the library code. It's proving to be a lot more opaque than I thought it would be.

Capital Trials at the Old Bailey

Simon Devereaux has approximately 10,000 records of people convicted in potentially capital cases between 1710 and 1840 in London heard at the Old Bailey court. This project will create a web-based database which will allow interested researchers and members of the public to compose queries on that data (e.g. women charged with robbery 1710-1720). It must be able to support a range of queries and produce output allowing researchers to identify trends in judicial practice over that time.
