This project will analyse how objectives to protect Indigenous people under the law after the 1830s became entwined in Australian colonial governance with objectives to transform them into legal subjects through policing and punishment. It will do so by examining the everyday work of Protectors of Aborigines, magistrates and mounted police as a network of colonial officials whose roles tested the boundaries of law in frontier settings where colonial relationships were still in the making. In exploring tensions between goals of humanitarian reform and demands of colonial development, it generates new insight into the intents and disputes that marked the practical pursuit of jurisdiction over Indigenous people.

该项目将分析1830年代后，根据法律保护土著人民的目标如何在澳大利亚殖民治理中得到实现，其目标是通过治安和惩罚将土著人民转变为法律的主体。它将通过审查土著居民保护者、地方法官和骑警的日常工作来做到这一点，这些人是殖民官员的网络，他们的作用是在殖民关系仍在形成的边境环境中检验法律的界限。在探讨人道主义改革的目标和殖民地发展的要求之间的紧张关系时，它对标志着对土著人民的管辖权的实际追求的意图和争端产生了新的见解。
