This paper examines imprisonment data from Victoria between 1860 and 1920 to gather insights into the variations in incidence of women being convicted by rural versus urban courts, including close focus on the difference in types of offences being committed in urban and rural locations. This paper also details women’s mobility between both communities as well as change in their offending profiles based on their geographic locations. Our findings suggest that while the authorities were broadly most concerned with removing disorderly and vagrant women from both urban and rural streets, rural offending had its own characteristics that differentiate it from urban offending. Therefore, this demonstrates that when examining female offending, geographic location of an offender and offence must be taken into consideration.

1860-1920 年维多利亚州城乡女性罪犯的监禁

本文研究了 1860 年至 1920 年维多利亚州的监禁数据,以深入了解农村和城市法院对妇女定罪的发生率差异,包括密切关注城市和农村地区所犯罪行类型的差异。本文还详细介绍了妇女在两个社区之间的流动情况,以及她们因地理位置而受到伤害的情况的变化。我们的研究结果表明,虽然当局最关心的是从城市和农村街道上清除无序和流浪妇女,但农村犯罪有其自身的特点,将其与城市犯罪区分开来。因此,这表明在审查女性犯罪时,必须考虑犯罪者的地理位置和犯罪行为。
