This book looks at the policing of social and political protest and
of the role played by the French and Prussian armies in maintaining
public order in the years leading up to the First World War. The
period 1890 to 1914 was characterised by mass protest in both
countries as the political, social and economic order of the German
Empire and the French Third Republic were repeatedly challenged by
industrial disputes, public protest and riots. In Berlin and Paris,
the political elites urgently needed to find ways of sustaining
economic growth while maintaining political stability through their
management of law and order enforcement. At the same time, public
authorities had to carefully consider how protest was to be policed
in a way that would not further alienate important groups from the
existing regime. Confronted with this dilemma, the use of the
French and Prussian armies in maintenance of public order became an
increasing concern for the government ministers, provincial
administrators and military commanders of both countries. During
the 1890s, however, the use of troops for protest policing in these
two countries took diverging trajectories. As well as examining the
differing methods of policing of social and political protest this
work also investigates the internal functioning of the French Third
Republic and the German Empire, in particular the relationship
between the civil and military elites at the central and regional
levels. By examining the use of troops in the two most
industrialised areas of Germany and France, the Westphalian Ruhr
district and the French region of Nord/Pas-de-Calais, the study
describes how the governments and the provincial administrations in
the two countries adopted distinctly dissimilar paths towards
modernisation of protest policing.

The historical study of crime has expanded in criminology during
the past few decades, forming an active niche area in social
history. Indeed, the history of crime is more relevant than ever as
scholars seek to address contemporary issues in criminology and
criminal justice. Thus, The Oxford Handbook of the History of Crime
and Criminal Justice provides a systematic and comprehensive
examination of recent developments across both fields. Chapters
examine existing research, explain on-going debates and
controversies, and point to new areas of interest, covering topics
such as criminal law and courts, police and policing, and the rise
of criminology as a field. This Handbook also analyzes some of the
most pressing criminological issues of our time, including drug
trafficking, terrorism, and the intersections of gender, race, and
class in the context of crime and punishment. The definitive volume
on the history of crime, The Oxford Handbook of the History of
Crime and Criminal Justice is an invaluable resource for students
and scholars of criminology, criminal justice, and legal history.
