Victims or Criminals? A Study of Women in Colonial North-Western Provinces and Oudh, India, 1870-1910

This fascinating exploration of female victims and criminals in colonial India lies at the intersection of several fields: colonial history, women's studies, Indian studies, political economy, and the history of crime and punishment. Using an interdisciplinary approach, Dr Singh argues that women's crime in India was largely induced by colonial intervention, oppression, and exploitation and that the punishment for such crimes was used as a means of social control and repression.Singh, Priyam is the author of 'Victims or Criminals?
