Originally published in 1976. This study deals with crime as social
history in Germany and France during the nineteenth century. It
establishes the broad statistical patterns of crime over the
century so that the crime phenomenon can be analysed in the light
of the other main trends of economic and social life. One basic
concern is the relationship between crime and economic condition.
The second main issue is to establish whether specifically rural
and urban patterns of crime can be isolated. The third main concern
is to establish whether any relationship existed between patterns
of delinquency and the social upheaval which accompanied
industrialisation and urbanisation. These three main issues
continue as important questions in considering modern day crime.
Nineteenth century Germany and France provide an excellent context
in which to examine them because of the substantial urbanisation
and industrialisation which occurred between 1830 and 1914. As well
as providing an important contribution to the history of nineteenth
century society this book also indicates important lessons for the
contemporary world.
