The last outlaw: Making a nation from the crimes of Jimmy Governor

该项目旨在制作凶手吉米·州长的法律史，以发现立法在多大程度上是由违法行为产生的。澳大利亚联邦为国家法治下的法律机构奠定了基础。1900年，土著连环杀手吉米·总督被宣布为非法，并在联邦成立之初被定罪。通过州长的法律史，该项目将在一个重要的历史时刻产生法律及其局外人的帐户。该项目旨在提供有关新兴国家惩罚、监视和监禁的知识，以及证据规则和刑事诉讼程序的历史。

This project aims to produce a legal history of the murderer Jimmy Governor to discover the extent to which law-making was generated by acts of law-breaking. The Australian Federation laid the foundations for the nation’s legal institutions under the rule of law. The Aboriginal serial killer, Jimmy Governor, was outlawed and convicted on the threshold of Federation, in 1900. Through Governor’s legal history, the project will produce an account of the law and its outsiders at an important historical moment. This project expects to provide knowledge about punishment, surveillance and imprisonment in the emerging nation, and a history of the rules of evidence and criminal procedure.
