Volume 2 of this two-volume companion study into the
administration, experience, impact and representation of summary
justice in Scotland explores the role of police courts in moulding
cultural ideas, social behaviours and urban environments in the
nineteenth century. Whereas Volume 1, subtitled Magistrates, Media
and the Masses, analysed the establishment, development and
practice of police courts, Volume 2, subtitled Boundaries,
Behaviours and Bodies, examines, through themed case studies, how
these civic and judicial institutions shaped conceptual, spatial,
temporal and commercial boundaries by regulating every-day
activities, pastimes and cultures. As with Volume 1, Boundaries,
Behaviours and Bodies is attentive to the relationship between
magistrates, the police, the media and the wider community, but
here the main focus of analysis is on the role and impact of the
police courts, through their practice, on cultural ideas, social
behaviours and environments in the nineteenth-century city. By
intertwining social, cultural, institutional and criminological
analyses, this volume examines police courts' external impact
through the matters they treated, considering how concepts such as
childhood and juvenile behaviour, violence and its victims,
poverty, migration, health and disease, and the regulation of
leisure and trade, were assessed and ultimately affected by
judicial practice.
