The legalistic terms "Establishment Clause" and "Free Exercise Clause" sound obscure to most people. For example, for the author to assume that the lack of serious differences in the language used to describe male and female offences in recognizances proves that a large proportion of petty violence was "ungendered" (66-68) underestimates the impact of formulaic legalistic wording and too readily takes official texts as proof of broader social views.
