摘要
Records from the Central Register of Female Prisoners permit a longitudinal analysis of ninety-five women convicted of murder and manslaughter in Victoria between 1860 and 1920. The data show the similarities and differences between the women convicted of these homicide offenses. An examination of the women's socioeconomic profiles, occupations, ages, migrations, and victims reveals the links between their crimes and their punishment.
