Industrial Revolution Crime and Punishment

The crime had change last 200 years because the olden days they want money so they kill people.

Look at Source 1. Read through the document to make sure you understand what it is telling you.
How old was Joseph?
 Joseph is 11 years old

What offense had he committed?
he stole 28 pound of iron

What was his sentence?
his sentence was a month of hard labour

2.Look at Source 2. Read through the document and compare it with the one shown in Source
How old was John?
John is 11 years old
What offense had he committed?
he stole a quarter of gooseberries

What was his sentence?calendar month hard labour and 5 years reformatory

There are two parts to John's sentence. What do you think the Victorians thought was the point of:
Sending the offender to prison? the offender went to prison because he has to learn to work hard when they wanted to
Sending the offender to the Reformatory? the offender went to the reformatory because to change their behavior
3. Look at Source 3. Another form of Victorian punishment was transportation to a penal colony in a different country.
What is the average age of these convicts who are being transported?  the average age of the convicts that are being transported is 15 years old

What are the crimes that most of them have been convicted of? theft by a servant(Hint : Larceny means theft)

How long is the average sentence? 10 years

Do you think they were allowed to come home at the end of their sentence? Yes because I think they have learned their lesson and they know what is good and what is bad.

Which of the following words do you think describes conditions at the penal colony? Explain why.
hard
easy
frightening
simple
tough
boring
interesting
because the penal colony is a very bad place for punishment.
4. Punishment of crime has a number of aims:
to punish the offender
to reform the offender so they won't do it again
to deter others from committing crimes 
to protect the public.
Which of these aims were being met by these sentences on Victorian young offenders?
to reform the offender so they won’t do it again
5. What would happen to Joseph Lewis and John Greening if they committed the same crimes today?
they would go the penal colony for ever so they won’t do it ever again
What sentences would you pass on Joseph Lewis and John Greening? What are the reasons for your decision?
I would let them get treated badly until they learn their lessons.
We did very well in the game we got 81%

I think there were punished fairly because they wanted to make their workers more discipline and wanted their workers to work hard when they wanted to and also so they won’t do the wrong thing again.

Some of the punishment does not fit the crime because some of them are very bad for the children because they are still young so they can’t do hard labour for days and days.

People commit crime because they want more money and because they don’t have food so they have to steal food to survive. They need to survive because of their children.

The softest was when In 1812 he confessed to the murder of William Horsfall, owner of a cotton factory in which machines were being introduced. He said: 'The evil machines are taking away our jobs. How are we supposed to support our families? He shouldn't have done it.' and I said 14 days of
labour

The hardest was when in 1810 he was convicted of publishing a pamphlet calling for the removal of the King and the setting up of a republic with the French revolutionary slogan 'liberte, egalite, fraternite'. I said to kill him.
