Abstract
The study focuses on the statistical evaluation of data on crime in 1882-1911 published in contemporary records. Firstly, a descriptive analysis is used to compare selected characteristics of persons condemned to death.
Secondly, a multinomial logistic regression model is used to identify and statistically test factors determining whether a felon deserved pardon or was eventually executed. The final evaluation of the results of both analytical methods points out the differences in various parameters of criminal behaviour and its treatment on the side of the state across the lands of the Cisleithanian part of the Habsburg Monarchy.
