Abstract
"New South Wales was from its origins uniquely connected with the criminal law. The first volume of this study (2002) covered the period from 1788 until Federation - convicts, gold rushes, wild bushrangers and equally wild legislators. This second volume (2018) continues the still-fascinating story from 1901 (when the colony became a state) through until mid-20th century, when the death penalty was effectively abolished." - Voila
