All crimes are tried in the same jurisdiction where they were committed - except - when the defense can convince a judge that they cannot receive a 'fair' trial or that the general jury pool is 'tainted' by publicity, or otherwise.

I respectfully disagree. If crimes were never committed then there would be no necessity to hate the offense. It is the perpetrator, themselves, that choose to break the law. Shame on THEM!

In the 18th century, the criminal justice system relied very heavily on capital punishment, even minor crimes such as cutting down a tree without permission could resulted in being hanged. Other punishments included transportation to America or Australia to perform hard labour and lesser crimes merited branding and public humiliation.
The majority of crimes were investigated and processed by the victims, with more serious crimes being put before a magistrate's court. At the time, magistrates were unpaid wealthy men who usually did not have much knowledge of the UK legal system. Magistrates at the time were well known for being easily bribed and corrupted.
The police force as we know it today, did not exist. London had watchmen and each parish elected two people within to act as police officers in their spare time. Quite often, those elected would pay someone else to stand in their place.

- Beheading ("Death by the Axe")
This was a punishment that resulted in your head being chopped off! The heads were sometimes placed on spikes along London Bridge or other places.
Beheading was considered less degrading than hanging, and it usually killed more quickly. Noblemen (rich) who committed crimes were more likely to be beheaded than hung.
- Hanging from the gallows.
A piece of rope was put around the neck making it hard for the person to breathe. The person would be hung from the rope until he/she had stopped breathing and was dead. People were hung for crimes such as stealing, treason, rebellion, riot or murder.
Hanging
- Burning
Women found guilty of either treason or petty treason were sentenced to be burned alive at the stake
- Being 'pressed' (crushed)
- Boiled alive
For attempting to murdering someone you could be boiled alive in a big bowl of hot water.
Lesser punishments for committing crime
included:
- Whipping (flogging)
Many towns had a whipping post. The victim was chained to the post, stripped to the waist and whipped.
You could be whipped for stealing a loaf of bread!
Whipping
Branding with hot irons
Hot irons were used to burn letters onto the skin of offenders hand, arm or cheek. A murderer would be branded with the letter 'M', vagrants with the letter 'V', and thieves with the letter "T".
- The pillory (standing)
The pillory was a T shaped block of wood with holes for the hands in the crossbar of the T. The person being punished would have to stand in the device in the middle of the market to be ridiculed by passersby.
The Pillory
- The stocks (sitting)
Stocks were used in the same way as the pillory, except that with stocks, the feet were bound. The stocks were a block of wood with two holes for your feet to go in. Local people threw rubbish and rotten eggs at people in the stocks.
- The ducking stool (Punishment for women)
Accused witches were dunked into a river, to see if they were innocent or guilty. If they floated, they were considered guilty and burnt at the stake. If they sank, they were innocent but died anyway, by drowning. Either way, they perished.
Ducking Stool
- The Brank, (the gossip's bridle)
The brank was a punishment enacted on women who gossiped or spoke too freely. It was a large iron framework placed on the head of the offender, forming a type of cage. There was a metal strip on the brank that fit into the mouth and was either sharpened to a point or covered with spikes so that any movement of the tongue was certain to cause severe injuries to the mouth.
The Brank
- Limbs cut off
Some people who stole things from shops had their hands cut off.
- The Drunkard's Cloak
This was a punishment for public drunkenness. The drunk was forced to don a barrel and wander through town while the villagers jeer at him. Holes were cut in the barrel for the person's hands and head, causing it to become like a heavy, awkward shirt.
