how easy was it to do crime back in the middle ages? surely there were guards walking around and guard dogs and so on, but someone dressed in black and climbing windows/picking locks at night would have had a pretty easy time looting random houses or assassinating people wouldn't they?

I think it's partly a reason why rulers imposed religion so heavily, to control masses into not commit crimes just cuz they are otherwise able to get away with it.
Just steal a bread, and some all-knowing nigra at the sky will note it down and burn u for it! For all eternity! :worry:

it really depends on the region and time.
the middle ages happened for almost 1,000 years, it's not like absolutely nothing changed during that time.
that said, i think capital punishment was the norm in most kingdoms up until the enlightenment period but i'm not entirely sure. :unsure:

though there's a pretty morbid case of a young mother in england during said era hanged for stealing food for her child. :sad:
i only found out about her from gurochan, which naturally has a thread dedicated to her. https://capitalpunishmentuk.org/mary-jones-hanged-for-shoplifting/

You can still do that in the modern age, just go to some remote rural shithole (preferably in a country where most people don't have gunz)

The term "out law" comes from when criminals were banished from medieval towns, essentially living outside the jurisdiction of that area.

Bandits would also live outside the kingdom as that was also not easily controllable and what happened outside was not easily punishable as it would be if you did a crime inside a kingdom.

So, being a bandit was quite easy, you just lived in the woods and attacked travelers, and you were outside the law, so it was up to the traveler to defend himself, wasnt the king's job.
A large job for knights was escorting travelers safely because of this.
