Edward James Gunthorpe’s Notes on Criminal Tribes Residing in or Frequenting the Bombay Presidency is a colonial report detailing communities labeled as "criminal tribes" under British law. The text classifies various tribes based on occupation, habits, and alleged criminal behavior. It reflects the colonial administration’s efforts to control and monitor nomadic and marginalized groups through the Criminal Tribes Act of 1871. The work is now viewed critically for its role in reinforcing stereotypes and enabling systemic discrimination during British rule.

Edward James Gunthorpe was a British colonial officer known for his 1891 work Notes on Criminal Tribes Residing in or Frequenting the Bombay Presidency. His writings supported the British policy of classifying certain Indian communities as "criminal tribes," contributing to discriminatory practices under the Criminal Tribes Act of 1871.
