Proceedings:

with

Intent
Description
The With Criminal Intent project will create an intellectual exemplar for the role of data mining in an important historical discipline–the history of crime–and illustrate how the tools of digital humanities can be used to wrest new knowledge from one of the largest humanities data sets currently available: the Old Bailey Online. It will create a seamlessly connected environment, the Newgate Commons, in which scholars can use data mining techniques to select themed texts from the 120 million words of trial records contained in the Old Bailey, and employ these texts as the basis of a study collection in Zotero where they will in turn be available for analysis using TAPoR tools (including quantitative text analysis and visualization). In the process, this project will showcase the integration of online textual resources with bibliographical and analytical tools emerging from Digital Humanities.

Deliverables
1. A
tested
model
for
how
large‐scale data collection and visualization
tools
can
interoperate.
2. Three
model
tools
at
different
levels
(corpus,
collection
management,
and
analytics)
that
can
be
used
in
new
configurations
by
other
projects.
3. A
preliminary
study
in
the
history
of
criminality
in
Britain
that
exemplifies
how
the
new
research
environment
can
be
used.
