Book Synopsis The Great British Bobby by : Clive Emsley
Download or read book The Great British Bobby written by Clive Emsley and published by Quercus Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name 'Bobby' comes from Sir Robert Peel who, as home secretary, oversaw the creation of the Metropolitan Police in 1829. In spite of his position as a national institution and his appeal as a solution to present-day concerns about law and order, the social history of the Bobby has rarely been explored. Yet his story (and since the beginning of the twentieth century it is also her story) is as exciting as that of his military cousin, Tommy Atkins. Bobby served on the front line of what is often characterized as 'the war against crime.' He may rarely have fought in pitched battles and almost never with lethal weapons, but his life could be hard and dangerous. Up until the last third of the twentieth century he usually patrolled on foot, in all weathers by day and, more often, by night. The drudgery of the foot patrol fostered that other nickname, 'Mr Plod'; something that may, or may not, have passed Enid Blyton by when she chose the name for the policeman of Noddy's Toytown. The period covered by The Great British Bobby saw massive economic, social and political change in Britain. The policing institution has shifted significantly in tandem, from having its primary relationship directly with the decentralized, local community, to becoming an instrument of the central state with, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, targets set and regulated centrally for the good of what politicians and policing professionals consider as the national community. Criminological expert Clive Emsley is ideally placed to tell the story of this remarkable and iconic institution; his book is nothing less than a social history of Britain over the last 180 years.

Book Synopsis The Official History of the Metropolitan Police by : Gary Mason
Download or read book The Official History of the Metropolitan Police written by Gary Mason and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Dust Jacket: The Official History of the Metropolitan Police celebrates 175 years of the Metropolitan Police Service, exploring how the Met has adapted and grown to meet the unique challenges of policing one of the most diverse cities in the world. The book traces the fascinating history of the organization, from the lawless London of 1829 when Sir Robert Peel passed the first Metropolitan Police Act, to the modernised service of the present day. Beginning with an overview of the first 150 years, author Gary Mason examines various milestones in the growth of the Met, from the policing of the Coldbath Field riots of 1833 to the General Strike of 1926, as well as examining the changing face of crime, and how the Met has adjusted to deal with organised criminality and the threat of domestic and international terrorism. The main emphasis of the book, however, is on the last 25 years. Public order, community policing, specialist crime, terrorism, technology and forensics are all explored in detail, supplemented by material gained from first-hand interviews with key players in all these areas. Written with the full co-operation of the Metropolitan Police Service, and with a foreword from Commissioner Sir John Stevens, the book is complemented by fascinating case histories throughout and is illustrated with over 120 photographs, many of them from the Met archives and published here for the first time.
Book Synopsis A Short History of Police and Policing by : Clive Emsley
Download or read book A Short History of Police and Policing written by Clive Emsley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The police are constantly under scrutiny. They are criticized for failings, praised for successes, and hailed as heroes for their sacrifices. Starting from the premise that every society has norms and ways of dealing with transgressors, A Short History of Police and Policing traces the evolution of the multiple forms of 'policing' that existed in the past. It examines the historical development of the various bodies, individuals, and officials who carried these out in different societies, in Europe and European colonies, but also with reference to countries such as ancient Egypt, China, and the USA. By demonstrating that policing was never the exclusive dominion of the police, and that the institution of the police, as we know it today, is a relatively recent creation, Professor Emsley explores the idea and reality of policing, and shows how an institution we now call 'the police' came to be virtually universal in our modern world.

Book Synopsis Policing the Victorian Community by : CAROLYN STEEDMAN
Download or read book Policing the Victorian Community written by CAROLYN STEEDMAN and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 1856 saw the first compulsory Police Act in England (and Wales). Over the next thirty years a class society came to be policed by a largely working-class police. This book, first published in 1984, traces the process by which men made themselves into policemen, translating ideas about work and servitude, about local government and local community, servitude and the ideologies of law and central government, into sets of personal beliefs. By tracing the evolution of a policed society through the agency of local police forces, the book illustrates the ways in which a society, at many levels and from many perspectives, understood itself to operate, and the ways in which ownership, servitude, obligation, and the reciprocality of social relations manifested themselves in different communities. This title will be of interest to students of criminology and history.
Book Synopsis The New Police in the Nineteenth Century by : Paul Lawrence
Download or read book The New Police in the Nineteenth Century written by Paul Lawrence and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period 1829-1856 witnessed the introduction of the 'New Police' to Great Britain and Ireland. Via a series of key legislative acts, traditional mechanisms of policing were abolished and new, supposedly more efficient, forces were raised in their stead. Subsequently, the introduction of the 'New Police' has been represented as a watershed in the development of the systems of policing we know today. But just how sweeping were the changes made to the maintenance of law and order during the nineteenth century? The articles collected in this volume (written by some of the foremost criminal justice historians) show a process which, while cumulatively dramatic, was also at times protracted and acrimonious. There were significant changes to the way in which Britain and Ireland were policed during the nineteenth century, but these changes were by no means as straightforward or as progressive as they have at times been represented.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of the History of Crime and Criminal Justice by : Paul Knepper
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the History of Crime and Criminal Justice written by Paul Knepper and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historical study of crime has expanded in criminology during the past few decades, forming an active niche area in social history. Indeed, the history of crime is more relevant than ever as scholars seek to address contemporary issues in criminology and criminal justice. Thus, The Oxford Handbook of the History of Crime and Criminal Justice provides a systematic and comprehensive examination of recent developments across both fields. Chapters examine existing research, explain on-going debates and controversies, and point to new areas of interest, covering topics such as criminal law and courts, police and policing, and the rise of criminology as a field. This Handbook also analyzes some of the most pressing criminological issues of our time, including drug trafficking, terrorism, and the intersections of gender, race, and class in the context of crime and punishment. The definitive volume on the history of crime, The Oxford Handbook of the History of Crime and Criminal Justice is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of criminology, criminal justice, and legal history.

Book Synopsis The Best Police in the World by : Barbara Weinberger
Download or read book The Best Police in the World written by Barbara Weinberger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on interviews with former police officers, this book addresses two main issues. Firstly, the question of how the police themselves viewed the priorities of the job and what they considered their role to be. This is the first study to consider this question and its implications for the style and content of police work. Secondly, it challenges the view of the prewar period as a "Golden Age", and shows that policing from the 1930s to the 1960s was not as unproblematic as has often been assumed. Police violence and the fabrication of evidence were more prevalent than the cosy image of the British TV series Dixon of Dock Green would have us believe. The fact that this image often went unchallenged has much to do with prevailing concepts of masculinity and with the greater moral certitude of the police within a more stable and stratified society.

Download or read book The Regiment written by Richard Hamley and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it is generally accepted that the history of Rhodesia began in 1890, the history of that country's police force began a year earlier, in 1889. From the beginning, the Force held to the customs and traditions of a light cavalry regiment, with military ranks and disciplines and, reflecting the military ethos, laying emphasis upon a smartness of turnout and drill. The unique character of the Force developed from this time. Not only did it have to establish the rule of law, it also had to defend the borders of the country, a responsibility it held until 1953. This stunning volume, filled with the author's own vivid water color illustrations, traces the fascinating story of the British South Africa Police during its 90 year existence from 1890 to 1980.
