A project mapping medieval England's known murder cases has now added Oxford and York to its street plan of London's 14 th century slayings, and found that Oxford's student population was by far the most lethally violent of all social or professional groups in any of the three cities. The team behind the Medieval Murder Maps – a digital resource that plots crime scenes based on translated investigations from 700-year-old coroners' inquests – estimate the per capita homicide rate in Oxford to have been 4-5 times higher than late medieval London or York.
