Issues around the policing of public order and political expression
are as topical today as in the past, and are likely to remain so in
the future. Janet Clark explores the origins of the National
Council for Civil Liberties (the precursor to Liberty) that emerged
in 1934 in protest at the policing of political extremes. The book
deals with police attempts to discredit the NCCL and the use of
intelligence to perpetuate a view of the organisation as a front
for the Communist Party. It also examines the state and police
responses to this organised criticism of police powers. This book
is essential reading for students and lecturers studying British
social history, the development of civil liberties and of policing
in Britain, as well as anyone interested in this enduring topic.
Included is a foreword by Clive Emsley, Emeritus Professor in
History at the Open University, and widely regarded as the doyen of
police history. -- .
