- Victorian and Edwardian industrial and reformatory schools. It combines big data and life-course approaches, to reconstruct young offenders’ lives by drawing on criminal court records, institutional archives, the census, BMD records and newspapers. Using interdisciplinary methodologies (from history and criminology), it interrogates the lives of 500 children over a fifty-year period, in order to understand the trajectory of their lives, whether they desisted from crime or reoffended. The book is co-written by four authors, each of whom wrote sections but also edited the other chapters.
