Drawing on digital criminal records, this book traces the life
courses of young convicts who were sentenced at the Old Bailey and
transported to Van Diemen's Land in the early 19th century. It
explores the everyday lives of the convicts pre- and
post-transportation, focusing on their crimes, punishments,
education, employment and family life right up to their deaths.
Emma D. Watkins contextualizes these young convicts within the
punishment system, economy and culture that they were thrust into
by their forced movement to Australia. This allows an understanding
of the factors which determined their chances of achieving a
'settled life' away from crime in the colony. Packed with case
studies offering vivid accounts of the offenders' lives, Life
Courses of Young Convicts Transported to Van Diemen's Land makes an
important contribution to the history of transportation, social
history and Australian history.
