«The New Police in the Nineteenth Century» is a history work edited by Paul Lawrence, published by Routledge in hardcover (519 pages, in English).
The work examines the introduction of the 'New Police' in Britain and Ireland (1829-1856), when key laws replaced traditional watchkeeping with new forces. The volume's articles, by criminal justice historians, qualify the idea of progressive change: the process was transformative, but also prolonged and contentious.
Volume in the 'The History of Policing' series. Published in 2011; includes bibliographic references and index.
Academic work aimed at students and researchers of history, criminology, and police studies.
