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.
