- This extended study (125,000 words and 259 pp.) follows over five years of externally funded research. It involved the collection, critical analysis and innovative investigation of ten archives in Australia, the UK and Ireland, over 80 sets of government papers from the Admiralty, Colonial Office, Home Office and Privy Council and archival and printed records of all major British and Irish churches. It makes critical interventions across the fields of religious history, criminal justice and colonial history. It provides a revisionist interpretation of British imperial punishment and its religious justification in the age of reform.
