Welcome

The Digital Panopticon is a collaboration between the Universities of Liverpool, Sheffield, Tasmania, Oxford and Sussex, with funding from the AHRC. It brings together genealogical, biometric and criminal justice datasets, held by organisations including The UK National Archives, Tasmanian Archives and FindMyPast, to explore the impact of different punishments on the lives of 100,000 people sentenced at the Old Bailey between 1780 and 1875.
