In addition, the relationship between theology and penal practices in the early American republic is explored as are the labeling of dissidents, children and crime in Victorian England, and criminal justice and labor recruitment among Melanesian workers in 1890s Queensland. These essays as well as the book surveys are essential reading for students and scholars in criminology, criminal justice, and the history of policing.
