Law and Imperialism: Criminality and Constitution in Colonial India and Victorian England (Empires in Perspective)

Laws that were imposed by colonizers were as much an attempt to confirm their own identity as to control the more dangerous elements of a potentially unruly populace. This title uses material from both British Parliamentary Papers and colonial archive material to provide evidence of legal change and response.
