Prisoners were often used as the main work force in quarrying, building roads or labouring on the docks. Criminals could be sentenced for just a few days, weeks or even years.

Writing a document analysis - Academic Skills & Learning Centre - ANU

It is not a mere summary or description of what happened, but rather an analysis of the motivation, intent and purpose of a document within a particular historical context. The key initial questions you need to consider are: What type of document is it? Does it have any particularly unique characteristics? When was it written? Sample extract. History: How to Analyze a Primary Source. When you analyze a primary source, you are undertaking the most important job of the historian.

History: How to Analyze a Primary Source

There is no better way to understand events in the past than by examining the sources--whether journals, newspaper articles, letters, court case records, novels, artworks, music or autobiographies--that people from that period left behind. Each historian, including you, will approach a source with a different set of experiences and skills, and will therefore interpret the document differently. Remember that there is no one right interpretation. Executioners in medieval Europe: History of capital punishment.

East End News - Week Ending June 9th 1888. Sergeant William Thicke, a police officer whose name appears time and again in the Jack the Ripper investigation, appeared at Thames Police Court this week to give evidence against a burglar named George Neighbour.

East End News - Week Ending June 9th 1888.

Sergeant Thicke was the officer who, in the early days of the hunt for Jack the Ripper, when the police were looking for a suspect whom the local prostitutes had nicknamed Leather Apron, declared that John Pizer was Leather Apron. Thicke's Testimony is interesting because it gives an insight into the dangers and struggles of policing the area where the Jack the Ripper murders occurred. On Saturday 9th June 1888 the East London Observer headlined an article "A SEVERE STRUGGLE WITH A BURGLAR". The subsequent article reported how:-

Punishments through Time. Introduction One of the things that surprises non-teachers (politicians, university academics, journalists etc) is that teaching a topic in chronological order is not, in itself, sufficient to embed to sequence of events in students’ brains.

Punishments through Time

Even in SHP Development Studies students have difficulty developing a clear understanding of the chronology of the topic, despite it being taught in chronological order. Examiners report that students struggle to sequence periods and key developments correctly. This suggests that teaching in chronological order is not sufficient. Students need to tackle specific activities designed to develop their chronological knowledge and understanding and to repeat the activities as reinforcement at regular intervals. This activity can be used as a revision task but, perhaps most valuably, as an introduction to begin building up the required chronological understanding. Login. GCSE Crime and Punishment. Compass.

Ned Kelly: The outlaw who divides a nation. More than 130 years after he was hanged, Australia's most notorious outlaw is being buried, as old tensions resurface about what he really means to the country.

Ned Kelly: The outlaw who divides a nation

To many Australians, Ned Kelly, the son of poor Irish Catholics, was a heroic anti-establishment figure who fought corrupt British colonists in the 19th Century. To others, he was a vicious thug who murdered three police officers. Kelly's descendants have insisted that by burying him, they were not seeking to glorify the notorious bandit, but to give him a dignified and proper farewell. "It's good to see that Ned will get the funeral he finally deserved in the first place," says Anthony Griffiths, the outlaw's great-grandnephew.
