This collection contains prisoner records from various jails in England and Wales, between the years 1881 and 1925. Records typically include the name of the prisoner, year and place of birth, date and place of conviction, and the name of the jail. Some of the records also contain a physical description of the prisoner.<br><br>The Habitual Criminal Registers were specifically designed to aid in the identification of repeat offenders in the future. As such, they contain valuable information for the project's research exploring long-term recidivism, particularly following the discontinuation of the Old Bailey Proceedings in 1913. Insights into past offenses allow for a direct connection to Old Bailey criminals, while comprehensive personal data support the application of more probabilistic linking techniques.<br><br>The records in this collection are © Digital Panopticon, University of Sheffield.
