- vagabonds
- vagabonds increased because of the cloth industry becoming smaller and more people were made redundant.
- Also vagabonds increased because the farmers were having cattle, sheep and pigs instead of crops so they didn't need as many workers only a couple to look after the animals.
- With vagabonds their was three types the legit ones that were actually homeless and had no work or food, their was the ones that would pretend to be homeless but actually weren't and their were the ones that would steal things and pick pocket you when you walked by them.
- transportation
- Before Australia was found, Briton would send all of their convicts to America. But after America had their independence Briton had no where to send them then they found Australia and their was a number of reasons why they started transportation to Australia.
- The main reason is that they wanted to colonize Australia before any other country got their first.
- At this time their was something called the bloody code in order and this meant that any crime that is worth over one nickle would be punishable by death. So they used transportation as the public thought that the bloody code was too harsh so they wouldn't convict people at their trills even if they though they were guilty so the government had to come up with a better punishment.
- They used transportation as a deterrent as people would hear rumors about it and would be scared about what they think is their.
- Prisons were extremely over crowded and the government couldn't cope with all of it.
- After a couple of years lots of gold was found creating a gold rush giving the government the means to send out more convicts so they could retrieve more gold.
