Established in 1853, after the end of penal transportation to Australia, the convict prison system and the sentence of penal servitude offered the most severe form of punishment - short of death - in the criminal justice system, and they remained in place for nearly a century. Penal Servitude is the first comprehensive study to examine the convict prison system that housed all those who were sentenced to penal servitude during this time. Helen Johnston, Barry Godfrey, and David Cox detail the administration and evolution of the system, from its creation in the 1850s and the building of the prison estate to the classification of prisoners within it. Exploring life in the convict prison through the experiences of the people who were subjected to it, the authors shed light on various details such as prison diet, education, and labour. What they find reveals the internal regimes; the everyday endurances, conformity, resistance, and rule breaking of convicts; and the interactions with the warders, medical officers, and governors that shaped daily life in the system. Reconstructing the life histories of hundreds of convict prisoners from detailed prison records, criminal registers, census data, and personal correspondence, Penal Servitude illuminates the lives of those who experienced long-term imprisonment in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

This book is designed to introduce students to the complicated and politically fraught world of crime data. This is no bland review of statistical trends or methodological flaws. Rather, this book aims to examine the social processes which shape and give meaning to our knowledge and perceptions of crime. The bamboozling world of political spin and tabloid sensationalism confronts and bewilders us as we navigate our way through a world increasingly populated by terrifying risks and appalling acts of violence and carnage. Whilst it remains the case the crime data is notoriously unreliable this book will attempt to explore what such data tells us about the nature and character of the crime problem and how it is responded to by politicians, criminal justice agencies, the media and the man on the street. 
 Fundamental to this text will be an introduction to the different sources of crime and criminal justice data and the ways in which they are generated and used by vested interests such as government and the police. The old adage of 'Lies, damn lies and statistics' will be reconsidered and the pervading criminological wisdom that crime statistics can tell us nothing useful about actual rates of crime will be challenged in an attempt to reclaim the social scientific value of crime data for thinking about and understanding both trends in the crime rate and the underlying social processes that shape the way such trends are interpreted by society.

Understanding Crime Data (Criminal and Justice)

Crime in England, 1815-1880 provides a unique insight into views on crime and criminality and the operation of the criminal justice system in England from the early to the late nineteenth-century. This book examines the perceived problem and causes of crime, views about offenders and the consequences of these views for the treatment of offenders in the criminal justice system. The book explores the perceived causes of criminality, as well as concerns about particular groups of offenders, such as the 'criminal classes' and the 'habitual offender', the female offender and the juvenile criminal. It also considers the development of policing, the systems of capital punishment and the transportation of offenders overseas, as well as the evolution of both local and convict prison systems. The discussion primarily investigates those who were drawn into the criminal justice system and the attitudes towards and mechanisms to address crime and offenders. The book draws together original research by the author to locate these broader developments and provides detailed case studies illuminating the lives of those who experienced the criminal justice system and how these changes were experienced in provincial England. With an emphasis on the penal system and case studies on offenders' lives and on provincial criminal justice, this book will be useful to academics and students interested in criminal justice, history and penology, as well as being of interest to the general reader.
