Neglected youths formed the city's gangs, thieving and assaulting the unwary. These 'larrikins' often ended up in gaol, and received a thorough criminal education from Faginesque professors of the art. In 1867 a solution to this problem was found. Fitted out for the reception of New South Wales' delinquent and abandoned boys, a Nautical School Ship was moored permanently within sight of Circular Quay on Sydney Harbour. The Colony's prisons were drained of their young inmates, and they were herded together in their dozens -- and later, hundreds -- on board. Like a Wicked Noah's Ark is the full and close-up history of this ground-breaking experiment in juvenile reformation, which operated continuously until 1911 on the Vernon and Sobraon.Juvenile delinquencyAustraliaSydney (N.S.W.)History19th centuryReformatoriesAustraliaSydney (N.S.W.)History19th centuryTrade schoolsAustraliaSydney (N.S.W.)History19th centuryJuvenile delinquencyfast(OCoLC)fst00985320Reformatoriesfast(OCoLC)fst01092581Social conditionsfast(OCoLC)fst01919811Trade schoolsfast(OCoLC)fst01153858Sydney (N.S.W.)History19th centurySydney (N.S.W.)Social conditions19th centuryNew South WalesSydneyfastJuvenile delinquencyHistoryReformatoriesHistoryTrade schoolsHistoryJuvenile delinquency.Reformatories.Social conditions.Trade schools.364.360994Luke Sarah1601273MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813820403321Like a wicked Noah's Ark3924806UNINA
