The book is a study of the police and criminal justice in
eighteenth-century France, and of the crimes and disorders the
authorities had to contain. It is concerned with two provinces -
the Auvergne, in the mountainous centre, and the Guyenne, the
hinterland of Bordeaux and is based on extensive archival research
in administrative records, police reports and the transcripts of
trials. Part one examines the means of repression available to the
government: the national police force, the marechaussee, and the
police court of summary justice, the prevote. It looks at the
recruitment and discipline of policemen, their duties, methods of
operating and efficiency; it also examines the treatment of beggars
and vagabonds, the procedures of criminal justice, the evidence put
before the judges and the punishments handed down. Part two studies
the thefts, assaults, murders, riots and rebellions of the two
provinces, particularly in the light of fashionable hypotheses
about changing patterns of criminal behaviour.
