This article addresses the crimes that were committed between 1876-1880 in the Ottoman capital of Istanbul as based on the Dersaadet, Beyoğlu, and Üsküdar Nizamiye court records. For this purpose, the article analyzes statistical information regarding crimes such as homicide, larceny, extortion, bodily harm, rape, and forgery that were committed in Istanbul during the specified period as well as the individuals who committed these crimes. |
