This book is a major contribution to the comparative histories of
crime and criminal justice, focusing on the legal regimes of the
British empire during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Its overarching theme is the transformation and convergence of
criminal justice systems during a period that saw a broad shift
from legal pluralism to the hegemony of state law in the European
world and beyond. Chapters in the book present a variety of
approaches, ranging from global discussions of key issues and
developments to an exploration of local case studies and their
relationship to these broader themes. Overall they reflect thinking
and developments within criminological, historiographical and
post-colonial approaches. Crime and Empire 1840-1940 reflects a
growing interest in the history of criminal justice on the part of
both criminologists and historians. The legacy of colonialism
continues to be disputed in the courts and elsewhere. The

This book aims to both reflect and take forward current thinking on
comparative and cross-national and cross-cultural aspects of the

of interest to those with interests in both history and
criminology. Overall the book aims to broaden the focus of the
historical context of crime and policing to take fuller account of
cross-national and cross-cultural factors.
