Question from Danica - Social class and criminal behavior

Hello, I am doing a research project on crime and punishment during the tudor stuart period
I have some questions that I need some help on.

How far did social class influence criminal behaviour?

Did the punishments act as a deterrent to criminals?

Were there any changes in the way the govt and local authorities dealt with the problem of crime, law and order?

Thankyou.
