- 85,000 word monograph based on a substantial body of primary source research over three years involving archival work in four major archives looking at 2,213 pre-trial statements. An interdisciplinary study, it uses court records toexamine Victorian sexual violence in depth and from perspectives including histories of childhood, gender and sexuality, forensic medicine, and the body. The archival records were lengthy, hand-written documents which needed to be viewed in person and transcribed into a database. Each case needed to be located in a 'bundle' of cases from the same session, making them slow and difficult to access.
