Women in the Dock: Female Criminality and Ulster Society, 1880-1930

这个原始的博士学位首次揭示了阿尔斯特，19世纪80年代至1930年代女性犯罪的程度和性质。它提供了一种独特的方法来探索性别，阶级，年龄和地区等主题，并照亮了边缘化和犯罪妇女的生活现实。它利用了大量未充分利用的档案记录，并提供了英国，爱尔兰自由邦和其他地区之间的比较。妇女的犯罪行为揭示了她们的生活现实、社会、经济、政治和其他背景、她们的能动性和情感以及她们当代的关切。

This original PhD brings to light for the first time the extent and nature of female criminality in Ulster, 1880s-1930s. It offers a unique approach to the exploration of themes such as gender, class, age, and region, and illuminates lived realities for marginalized and criminal women. It draws on extensive and underused archival records, and offers comparisons between Britain, the Irish Free State, and beyond. Women's criminality illuminates the realities of their lives, their social, economic, political and other contexts, their agency and emotions, and their contemporary concerns.
