Criminal Women and Bad Girls: Regulation and Punishment in Montreal, 1890-1930
|
| Abstract |
Society’s attitudes toward criminal offenders changed dramatically over the nineteenth century. By the early twentieth century, the system of handling offenders in Montreal was highly institutionalized and based on sex- and age-specific treatment involving the Catholic Church, civic and legal authorities, and Protestant reform organizations. The author explores the gender-specific treatment of female offenders in the new institutions created ostensibly to rescue them from their “criminal” ways: the Fullum Street Prison for Women, the École de Reforme, the Girls’ Cottage Industrial School, the Juvenile Delinquents’ Court and female officers on the police force.
