The English Police by Clive Emsley

A comprehensive history of policing from the eighteenth century onwards, which draws on largely unused police archives. Clive Emsley addresses all the major issues of debate; he explores the impact of legislation and policy at both national and local levels, and considers the claim that the English police were non-political and free from political control. In the final section, he looks at the changing experience of police life. Established as a standard introduction to the subject on its first appearance, the Second Edition has been substantially revised and is now published under the Longman imprint for the first time.
'Set to become the new student text xxx; Here is a historian whose knowledge of English policing history over the whole of the period is second to none'  British Journal of Criminology
Clive Emsley  is Professor of History at the Open University and President of the International Association for the HIstory of Crime and Criminal Justice.
