A study of juvenile female offenders within the reformatory and industrial system during the Victorian era, exploring their reform, regulation and representations of immorality.
Exploring the reform and regulation of juvenile females in the Victorian and early Edwardian era, this book presents the first-hand experiences of incarcerated girls to shed new light on youth criminalisation in the past and the present.
Focusing on three industrial schools in Bristol and Manchester, Wayward Girls in Victorian Era pays particular attention to gender, age and class to understand how these factors impacted an individual’s passage through the Victorian juvenile system. Using both qualitative and quantitative data, it examines representations of deviance and immorality as well as behaviour regulation to bring girls into a field of study previously dominated by male and adult offenders. Asking questions about how to ‘reform’ delinquent juveniles, this book also uses history to rethink the present and contribute to current debates about juvenile delinquency and reform.
