Reseña del editor
This foundation text presents a close look at the transportation system that sets it in its context as one of various modes of punishment used in the English penal system. It considers the reformatory as well as the deterrent features of the system.The author reminds us that Australia was not the only colony to which British statesmen wanted to send their felons, and discusses projects of transportation to the American colonies and South Africa. He throws light on some of the considerations which led to the foundation of Australia and the 'choice of Botany Bay'. His discussion of the character of the convicts settles many of the longstanding arguments about the criminality of Australia's founders by subjecting their records to rigorous scrutiny.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Professor Shaw examines the working of the transportation system far more closely than his predecessors who have so often been contentwith a few horror stories. In this book he puts it in its proper place as one of the various modes of punishment used in the English penal system, and considers it reformatory as well as its deterrent features. He reminds us that Australia was not the only colony to which British statesmen wanted to send their felons. ** The jacket has light stains at the top of the frontispiece and on the laminate cover.**.
