  • Folded files, unfolding narratives : psycho-pedagogical observation in the Belgian juvenile reformatories, 1912–1945
    'Informa UK Limited', 2020
    Co-Authors: Van Ruyskensvelde Sarah, Nys Laura
    Abstract:

    The establishment of the Central Observation Institute in Mol in 1913 marks the introduction of scientific expertise in Belgium’s youth delinquency policy. The child at risk was subjected to a series of observations, resulting in an observation report (‘waarnemingsverslag’) that contained the psychological, moral and physical characteristics of the delinquent child, and suggested strategies for its re-education. This article focuses foremost on the technologies of observation in the first half of the twentieth century. In contrast to earlier research, the observation report is not used as a ‘key to the past’ but the article aims to historicise the observation report in its own right. Using M’charek’s concept of ‘folded object’, the process of truth being created in the observation report is discussed, paying attention to the various actors at work in the Reformatory and examining the dynamic relationships between the observation institution and the juvenile reformatories in the production and use of observation file

  • from Reformatory to farm home developments in twentieth century juvenile justice
    Cultural & Social History, 2019
    Co-Authors: Clarissa Carden
    Abstract:

    The early twentieth century saw a transnational shift in the way in which children were responded to by the state. This article explores this shift through a change of name undergone by Reformatory institutions for boys in two Australian states during the second decade of the twentieth century. This article analyses contemporary newspaper sources in order to argue that this shift in name responded to both transnational changes in attitudes to the institutional care of children and to local needs.

  • a breakdown of Reformatory education remembering westbrook
    The History Education Review, 2018
    Co-Authors: Clarissa Carden
    Abstract:

    Purpose Westbrook Farm Home for Boys in Queensland, Australia, existed in various forms for over 100 years. As such, it offers a valuable window into Australian approaches to managing and reforming boys through the twentieth century. The purpose of this paper is to examine its approach to reforming teenage boys during a period marked by a mass escape in 1961. It argues that the Reformatory education initially intended was no longer tenable during this moment in history, and that this period represents a breakdown of that approach. Design/methodology/approach This paper draws on material including newspaper reports, memoirs, and the report of an inquiry into an escape by inmates in 1961. These are analysed in order to construct a picture of the type of Reformatory education during this period and the public and official responses to this. Findings Westbrook Farm Home for Boys was, during this period, an institution attempting to provide a Reformatory education at a historical moment when such an education was no longer viewed as appropriate means of addressing the criminal behaviour of youths. This, combined with the leadership of a domineering figure in Superintendent Roy Golledge, led to a culture of abuse, rather than education. The uncovering of this culture was a pivotal moment in the transition of Westbrook into an institution explicitly dealing with criminal youths. Originality/value No academic work relating to this moment in Westbrook’s history has been previously published.

  • Reformatory schools and whiteness in danger an australian case
    Childhood, 2018
    Co-Authors: Clarissa Carden
    Abstract:

    The Queensland Reformatory and Industrial Schools Act (1865) provided for the creation of a system of Reformatory and industrial schools. This article explores the early years of the Reformatory for boys. The Act defined Aboriginal children as ‘neglected’ and eligible to be sent to this institution. However, of the first 1000 children admitted, all but 33 were White. This article explores this contradiction through an analysis of the Reformatory in light of fears about the fragility of Whiteness in Queensland’s climate.
