Assesses the changes in the understanding of crime, policing, the courts and penal sanctions in England as the country industrialised and urbanised during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Crime and Society in England, 1750-1900 draws on recent research to assess the changes in the understanding of crime, policing, the courts and penal sanctions in England as the country industrialised and urbanised during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The third edition brings the subject up-to-date by reflecting recent shifts away from class towards gender analysis, and the growing interest in violence as opposed to property crime. This text is suitable for undergraduate courses in modern English history and criminology courses in law departments.

Clive Emsley is Professor in the History Department at the Open University. He was elected president of the International Association for the History of Crime and Criminal Justice in 1995 and again in 1998. He has maintained a research interest in the revolutionary and Napoleonic period but since the early 1980s his work has focused primarily on the history of crime and policing. He is Director of the European Centre for the Study of Policing.
