  • Man Robbery—A Gender Signifier in Convict Australia 1827–1836
    societies Article Man Robbery—A Gender Signifier in Convict Australia 1827–1836 Carol Liston 1,* and Kathrine M. Reynolds 2 1 Humanities and Communication Arts, Western Sydney University, Penrith, NSW 2751, Australia 2 Arts and Social Sciences, Department of History, The University of Sydney, Camperdown, NSW 2006, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 19 May 2020; Accepted: 24 June 2020; Published: 30 June 2020 Abstract: This paper investigates the use of the anomalous term ‘man robbery’ in historical records relating to convict women in New South Wales. We question its accuracy as a criminal offence and conclude that its use in the 1830s was an administrative code that summarized an assessment not only of the women’s criminality but also of their morality. Its use in the historical records has been accepted uncritically by modern historians. The anomaly was identified through a large-scale study of these records. Often used to trace the histories of individual women for genealogical research, recurring patterns in the records are more noticeable when considering the crimes of some 5000 women transported to New South Wales, especially when their court records held in Britain are compared with those held in Australia. Evidence has emerged that the criminality of the women has been reduced by this gendered criminal offence. Inconsistency in the application of the term ‘man robbery’ led us to question it accuracy. Violence and participation in gangs were airbrushed from the records by the use of a term that implied that the women’s crimes related to their sexuality rather than their skills as criminals.

  • Uses and Abuses of Crime Statistics Don Weatherburn
    BUREAU OF CRIME STATISTICS AND RESEARCH CRIME AND JUSTICE NSW Bureau of Crime Bulletin Statistics and Research Contemporary Issues in Crime and Justice Number 153 November 2011 Uses and abuses of crime statistics Don Weatherburn Aim: To promote a better understanding of the uses and abuses of crime statistics amongst students, journalists and the interested public. Method: Description of the main uses of crime statistics, coupled with analysis and examples of common abuses. Results: Crime statistics have a wide variety of valid uses; including the measurement of crime trends and the evaluation of crime control initiatives. They are, however, frequently misinterpreted by the media and misrepresented by politicians. Conclusion: The increase in media access to information about crime has not been matched by an increase in the quality of media reporting on crime. The misuse of crime statistics by the media has impeded rational debate about law and order. Keywords: crime statistics, media, crime victim surveys, headlines, courts. INTRODUCTION THE DIVERSITY OF CRIME Between 2000 and 2009, the Australian national murder rate A crime for our purposes is an act or omission punishable by fell by 39 per cent, the national robbery rate fell by 43 per law. The acts and omissions punishable by law are vast and cent, the national burglary rate fell by 55 per cent, the national varied. Our commonsense picture of crime includes offences motor vehicle theft rate fell by 62 per cent and all forms of other like murder, assault, robbery, rape, burglary, drug trafficking theft fell by 39 per cent (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2010).

  • Why Does NSW Have a Higher Imprisonment Rate Than Victoria? Don Weatherburn, Katrina Grech and Jessie Holmes
    CRIME AND JUSTICE NSW Bureau of Crime Bulletin Statistics and Research Contemporary Issues in Crime and Justice Number 145 December 2010 Why does NSW have a higher imprisonment rate than Victoria? Don Weatherburn, Katrina Grech and Jessie Holmes Aim: To examine the influence of sentencing practice and other factors on the difference between NSW and Victoria in their imprisonment rates. Method: Descriptive analysis of national crime, court and prison data. Results: The NSW court appearance rate is 26 per cent higher than that in Victoria. The overall conviction rate in NSW is 85.7 per cent, compared with 79.0 per cent in Victoria. The overall percentage imprisoned is significantly higher in NSW (7.5%) than in Victoria (5.4%). The mean expected time to serve among prisoners dealt with by Victorian courts is slightly longer than the mean expected time to serve among prisoners dealt with by NSW courts. The NSW remand rate is approximately 2.5 times the Victorian remand rate. Conclusion: The higher NSW imprisonment rate is attributable to a higher rate of court appearance, a slightly higher conviction rate, a higher likelihood of imprisonment and a higher likelihood of remand in custody. Keywords: NSW, Victoria, prison, bail, sentence, remand, crime INTRODUCTION METHOD AND RESULTS The NSW imprisonment rate is about twice that of Victoria THE DETERMINANTS OF PRISON (204 per 100,000 population vs. 104 per 100,000 population) POPULATION SIZE (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2009a). This fact is widely believed to indicate that sentencing policy and practice in NSW When a prison population is stable, its size (P) is a product of the is much harsher than in Victoria.

While the law caught up with him on three occasions and he was sentenced to a total of 5½ years gaol, he never reformed his ways; he continued to offend until his dying day. John's father, Thomas Casey1, ran a carrying business between Sydney and Bathurst from about 18262. He had gained experience in this business from his life in Edmonton, Middlesex (where he was a driver3) and from his work as an assigned convict in the New South Wales Commissariat4. In December 1832 he was married at Bathurst to 17 year old Julia Grady5, the daughter of ex convict Patrick Grady and his wife Margaret6 (nee Whalan).

  • Restorative Justice
    REWRITING HISTORY : TOWARDS A GENEALOGY OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE Kelly May Richards A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy College of Health and Science University of Western Sydney 2006 1 INTRODUCTION During the mid to late 1970s, there appears to have been little awareness or information sharing between programs experimenting with the concept of mediating victim-offender conflict (Umbreit, 1995, p. 264). The Reverend Peter Taylor, Chaplain at the Rochester Youth Custody Centre, a closed institution for approximately 350 young males…was routinely asked, “What you do is good for the offenders, but what about the victims?” After some thought…Taylor in March 1983 wrote a letter to local Victim Support Scheme staff asking if they would like to participate in a program at the facility that would bring together burglars and burglary victims….At the time, Taylor reports that he was wholly uninformed about American and Canadian victim- offender reconciliation practices, research about victim and offender perceptions of one another and even about which British authorities in London, 13 miles to the north, were available to help him (Immarigeon, 1994, p. 9). Family group decision making was developed for use in child welfare where it has been used extensively in many different jurisdictions….The concept emerged simultaneously in New Zealand, where it is known as family group conferencing, and in Oregon, where it has been known as Family Unity (Resource 2 Center for Family-Focused Practice, n.d., Family-Centered Practice section, para 1). Why Research ‘Restorative Justice’? My original interest in the field of ‘restorative justice’ came about due to a broad interest in new and innovative ways of dealing with offenders.

  • Crime and Justice
    CRIME AND JUSTICE NSW Bureau of Crime NSW Sentencing Council Bulletin Statistics and Research Contemporary Issues in Crime and Justice Number 118 August 2008 Public confidence in the New South Wales criminal justice system Craig Jones, Don Weatherburn & Katherine McFarlane This bulletin describes a survey of public attitudes on levels of sentencing and whether the NSW criminal justice system is achieving its various aims. Consistent with previous research, a high proportion (66%) of respondents felt that sentences imposed on convicted offenders are either ‘a little too lenient’ or ‘much too lenient’. Most were either ‘very’ or ‘fairly’ confident that the criminal justice system respects the rights of accused persons (72%) and treats them fairly (75%) but smaller proportions were ‘very’ or ‘fairly’ confident that the criminal justice system brings people to justice (54.8%), deals with cases efficiently (43.7%), deals with cases promptly (29.7%) or meets the needs of victims (34.7%). Confidence in the criminal justice system was generally found to be more prevalent among younger people, those who are better educated, those on higher incomes, those who know more about crime and criminal justice and those who reported drawing information about the justice system from broadsheet newspapers, government publications, the Internet or from educational institutions. A large proportion of the public indicated that they would like to learn more about how judges sentence offenders. The results are discussed in terms of the role of the media in the formation of public attitudes toward the criminal justice system. Keywords: public confidence, criminal justice system, sentencing, leniency, public attitudes, media INTRODUCTION However issuing appropriate sentences Research on public confidence in the is only one of the expectations members criminal justice system in Australia, Maintaining confidence in the of the public have for the criminal justice though much more limited, has shown administration of public services is system.
