How did ideas about crime and criminals change in Europe from
around 1750 to 1940? How did European states respond to these
changes with the development of police and penal institutions?
Clive Emsley addresses these questions using recent research on the
history of crime and criminal justice in Europe. Exploring the
subject chronologically, he addresses the forms of offending, the
changing interpretations and understandings of that offending at
both elite and popular levels, and how the emerging nation states
of the period responded to criminal activity by the development of
police forces and the refinement of forms of punishment. The book
focuses on the comparative nature in which different states studied
each other and their institutions, and the ways in which different
reformers exchanged ideas and investigated policing and penal
experiments in other countries. It also explores the theoretical
issues underpinning recent research, emphasising that the changes
in ideas on crime and criminals were neither linear nor circular,
and demonstrating clearly that many ideas hailed as new by
contemporary politicians and in current debate on crime and its
'solutions', have a very long and illustrious history.
