This comprehensive history of policing from the 18th century onwards draws on largely unused police archives. The text addresses all the major issues of debate, explores the impact of legislation and policy at both national and local levels, and considers the claim that the English police were non-political and free from political control. The final section of the book examines policing from below and the changing experience of police life since the 19th century.
