This book is an ambitious attempt to map the main changes in the
criminal justice system in the Victorian period through to the
twentieth century. Chapters include an examination of the growth
and experience of imprisonment, policing, and probation services;
the recording of crime in official statistics and in public memory;
and the possibilities of research created by new electronic and
on-line sources; an exploration of time, space and place, on crime,
and the growth internationalisation and science-led approach of
crime control methods in this period. Unusually, the book presents
these issues in a way which illustrates the sources of data that
informs modern crime history and discusses how criminologists and
historians produce theories of crime history. Consequently, there
are a series of interesting and lively debates of a thematic nature
which will engage historians, criminologists, and research methods
specialists, as well as the undergraduates and school students
that, like the author, are fascinated by crime history.
