Funded Activity Summary

The Inception of Criminal Deportation in Colonial Australia . This project aims to undertake the first comprehensive study of criminal deportation in colonial Australia. Expected outcomes include new knowledge on freely arrived colonists who were tried, sentenced to transportation, and criminally deported within the Australian colonies. The project spans the disciplines of history and criminology, developing a new methodological framework that aims to facilitate important insights on the societal attitudes, systems, and circumstances that led to criminal deportation. This should provide significant benefits by articulating the unexplored deep history of Australian criminal deportation practices. The project also aims to preserve fragile colonial documents foundational to the nation’s history.
