BEERY, ANDERSON & CO., PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS, BALLARAT 430200 To Colonel William Thomas Napier Champ (Late Inspector-General of Penal Establishments in Victoria) Whose Impartial Administration of THE Penal Department Stands Unrivalled, These Reminiscences of a Warder’s Life Are Most Respectfully and Gratefully Dedicated by the Author. PREFACE. The author of this work has not resolved to launch his little craft on the great sea of literature without feeling that the winds and waves might handle her very roughly, but he trusts to the generosity of the public. His only qualifications for so difficult and important a task as that of recording 30 years of the history of penal establish­ ments are intimate knowledge as a subordinate officer of its details, and an honest desire to state impartially what he believes to be of interest to the public, and of undoubted fact. The accumulation of the materials of this work, involving much research into documents of the past, has occupied his leisure hours for many years, and as life is short and the present seems to be a time when there is no burning question before the public respecting the treatment of criminals, he deems it best to delay no longer its publication. He trusts that those who differ from his opinions as here expressed will yet overlook any imperfections in his style of narration, and that all his readers may have as much pleasure in reading these pages as he has had in compiling them. He tenders his most hearty thanks to the many ex-officers and other friends who have assisted him with nmch valuable information, to the members of the Press, and especi­ ally to those connected witli the Melbourne Argus. table of contents. -------------------------+-------------- - CHAPTER I.

CRIME AND CRIMINALS; OR, REMINISCENCES in the penal department OF VICTORIA. ----------»---------- CHAPTER I. ' Introduction.—Influx of Criminals in 1851.—Foundation of Pentridge.— Mr. Barrow, first Superintendent.—Escape of Prisoners.—Black Trackers. —Two Careers of Crime. The questions which interest all classes of men in the present day are, without doubt, social questions; those which affect the moral welfare and social comfort of our fellow-men as citizens. How to help the poor out of their poverty; to break up monopolies of all kinds; to give every man a fair chance in the race of life; to shorten the hours of labor, without injury to commerce; to educate all, that they may rationally enjoy those additional hours of leisure; the greatest good to the greatest number. These are the questions of the day, and both science and religion are valued in proportion as they contribute to a solution of these problems. Unfortunately, it is not only these bright and hopeful subjects which enter into our social questions. All our fellow-men are not temperate, industrious, and amicable; so largely, in fact, does the dark side of life enter into our social' questions that the very word social at once reminds us of what is called the “social evil.” Civilisation, alas, brings with it in­ creased vice as well as increased powers of good, intellectually and morally. So the treatment of criminals becomes a necessary subject of thought to all who wish well to the community; as we are 4 CRIME AND CRIMINALS. told that “the poor shall be always with us” by the Highest Authority, so it is a fact that our criminals, from generation to generation, still tax our revenues, lessen our social strength, and supply the philanthropist with food for sympathy, the economist with food for deepest reflection. What is the best mode of treating criminals ? Which system tends most to the re­ formation of the hopeful ones ? Is it not possible to make this class of men in some degree self-supporting ? These and many other questions will be answered in different ways by men of different temperament and degrees of experience. To some the thought of ‘any man being irreclaimable by kindness may seem an insult to our humanity, if not to the Great Creator of it; all these questions will, to such, seem easily answered, and their own panaceas irresistible ; to others with longer experience and, perhaps, less natural sympathy, all efforts for a system of reformation may seem Utopian, and they can muster a host of hard facts to prove that it never has been done and therefore cannot be done. Without attempting to solve these and other problems connected with penal establishments, the writer of this experience of 33 years in the penal establishments of Victoria desires to give as impartial a sketch of his own recollections as possible, leaving the facts for others to make use of and form their own conclusions from. Among the various places in the colony set apart for the deten­ tion of criminals, Pentridge Stockade is one of the most famous. It was founded in the year 1851, and proclaimed a house of correction on April 24th, 1852. Those were stirring times in this colony; the discovery of the goldfields caused the worst class of convicts to immigrate from Van Dieman’s Land and Norfolk Island to these shores. The result was that bushranging, horse stealing, murders, and in fact the whole catalogue of the most heinous crimes quickly prevailed throughout the whole of the colony. But this was nothing but wrhat might have been expected from the class of criminals that then formed so large a proportion of the population. While holding them in restraint, inspired as they were by dreams of easily gotten wealth, the Government of the day could afford but CRIME AND CRIMINALS. 5 very limited protection to life and property, and the commission of the most serious offences in the community, from this time until 1856, will ever form the darkest chapter in the history of the colony.

  • Police-Recorded Crime Trends in Victoria During the COVID-19 Pandemic Stasha Rmandic, Samantha Walker, Sarah Bright and Melanie Millsteed
    Number 10, September 2020 Police-recorded crime trends in Victoria during the COVID-19 pandemic Stasha Rmandic, Samantha Walker, Sarah Bright and Melanie Millsteed This paper aims to examine whether and how the COVID-19 pandemic, associated behaviour changes and implemented restrictions impacted on crime in Victoria. It examines whether there were changes in the volume, nature or location of offending recorded by police following the introduction of restrictions in late March 2020 and provides an overview of offences recorded for breaching restrictions introduced to address COVID-19. While the overall number of offences recorded between April and June 2020 was similar to the number recorded during the same period in 2019, in 2020 there were decreases in the number of property and deception offences recorded and small increases in the number of drug and justice procedures offences recorded. Since March, 6,062 offences have been recorded by police for breaches of COVID-19-related restrictions. The analysis identified that the number of family violence incidents recorded in May and June was significantly higher than what would be expected based on trends over the past five years. Continuing to monitor volumes of family violence incidents recorded throughout the pandemic and triangulating these with other family violence related indicators is paramount to ensuring victim safety. Keywords: COVID-19, coronavirus, pandemic, offending rates, crime trends, family violence 1. Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic describes the global spread of COVID-19, a disease caused by a new strain of a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. With no existing community immunity and no vaccine available, governments around the world have introduced physical distancing measures to contain outbreaks of this highly contagious and - at times - fatal virus.

  • Meeting Needs and Reducing Offending Youth Justice Review and Strategy
    Authorised and published by the Victorian Government, 1 Treasury Place Melbourne Victoria 3000 July 2017 If you would like to receive this publication in an accessible format, such as large print or audio, please email [email protected] Also published on justice.vic.gov.au Meeting needs and reducing offending Youth justice review and strategy Part 1 July 2017 Penny Armytage Professor James Ogloff AM Foreword Victoria’s statutory youth justice services operate in a changing environment. Youth justice has a substantial responsibility to act in accordance with the laws that govern them and the policies and procedures that guide them. They are tasked with ensuring they care for and supervise some of the state’s most vulnerable young people. They must provide high-quality interventions so that these young offenders fulfil their obligations to the courts and address their offending behaviour and the harm they caused their victims. Youth justice services must also promote public safety while acting in the interests of both the young offender and the community. Striking the balance between these sometimes competing interests in our contemporary society is not simple. It requires consideration of the nature and causes of youth crime, as well as what works with young people who are still developing. These young people do not always have the maturity to fully appreciate the consequences of their conduct, either in the short or longer term. We recognise the challenges facing the increasingly diverse youth in today’s fast-paced and changing world. Charlie Taylor’s words (from his recent review of the youth justice system in England and Wales) resonate with us: It is right that children who break the law are dealt with differently to adults.
