Overview

Crime holds a special place in Australian history, having facilitated colonisation, provided its most celebrated anti-hero in Ned Kelly and been used to sell millions of newspapers, books and movie tickets. Drawing upon a rich array of digital history resources, this course offers you a guided tour of the origins of Australian underworlds and of the study of the history of crime and punishment.

Key facts:

Casing the Joint - Introducing Histories of Crime at The University of Newcastle Australia by FutureLearn  will allow you to develop deeper understanding of the underworlds you will encounter in podcasts, televisions series and books.

You will develop a sense of the processes which occur when someone becomes entangled with the legal system, and you will know where you can go to find out more about an offender and a crime for yourself.
