A study of convict records includes discussion of the British legal system and the conditions that led to convicts being transported to the colonies of Australia. Governments kept records at stages of their control of the convicts and these provide more information about the convicts in Australia than for free settlers of the same period.

The passage of convicts through the legal system may be traced from their trials and imprisonment, transportation, the convict administration in the colonies, as well as their various assignments until the eventual end of their imprisonment (by death or freedom).
