This is the first full scholarly study of the Metropolitan Police
in the period 1870-1914, the time when it was transformed into a
recognizable modern professional police force. Stefan Petrow
examines how the Metropolitan Police, under the direction of the
Home Office, grew and changed over these years. He explores the
ways in which policing methods developed, traces the growth of the
police bureacracy, and assesses the role played by public
attitudes, relations with courts, police corruption, and the
resistance of those policed. Dr Petrow focuses on what moral
reformers in organized pressure groups claimed were serious threats
to social order in late Victorian and Edwardian London - habitual
criminality, prostitution, drunkenness, and betting - and examines
the Metropolitan force's policing of these areas.
