Description

A comprehensive examination of English policing from the eighteenth century onwards, drawing on largely unused police archives to provide fresh historical insight. Clive Emsley addresses major debates surrounding police history, exploring the impact of legislation and policy at both national and local levels whilst challenging the claim that the English police operated free from political influence. The Second Edition has been substantially revised to reflect contemporary scholarship, making it an established standard introduction to the subject. This authoritative work examines the evolving experience of police life across centuries, offering readers a detailed understanding of how policing institutions developed, shaped public order, and interacted with political structures throughout English history.
