Crime, Protest, Community, and Police in Nineteenth-Century Britain, Paperback / softback Book

Crime, Protest, Community, and Police in Nineteenth-Century Britain Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: The History of Crime and Punishment series

Paperback / softback

Description

This study, first published in 1982, is concerned with the nature of crime in nineteenth-century Britain, and explores the response of the community and the police authorities.

Each chapter is linked by common themes and questions, and the topics described in detail range from popular forms of rural crime and protest, through crime in industrial and urban communities, to a study of the vagrant.

The author pays special attention to the relationship between illegal activities and protest, and emphasizes the context and complexity of official crime rates and of many forms of criminal behaviour.

This title will be of interest to students of history and criminology.
