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.   • Explores the value of criminal statistics, the significance of contemporary notions of class and gender in understanding and formulating the image of the criminal • Describes developments in policing and the shifting ideas that led to a decline in corporate and capital punishments and an increasing focus on the prison • Challenges the view that crime can be attributed to the behaviour of a criminal class, and the ideas that crime patterns can be explained simply in terms of the trade cycle • Examines changes in crime and the criminal justice system against the larger changes in an industrialising society

Britain and the French Revolution

( The French Revolution catapulted Europe into a new peri...)

The French Revolution catapulted Europe into a new period of political upheaval, social change, and into the modern era. This book provides a concise introduction to the impact of the French Revolution on Britain and to the ways in which this impact has been assessed by historians. The book is organised thematically. It begins with a survey of the ideological debate sparked off by the Revolution discussing, in particular, the work of people such as Burke, Paine, Spence and Wollstonecraft. From here it presents an exploration of the Revolution s impact on * Parliamentary polities * The growth of radicalism and loyalism * The way in which French ideas influenced Irish aspirations to generate rebellion The third main section of the book focuses on the causes and course of Britain s war with Revolutionary France, and on the effects of the war on the home front, most notably the recurrent, serious food shortages.

( Acknowledged as one of the best introductions to the hi...)

Acknowledged as one of the best introductions to the history of crime in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Crime and Society in England 1750-1900 examines thedevelopments in policing, the courts, and the penal system as England became increasingly industrialised and urbanised. The book challenges the old but still influential idea that crime can be attributed to the behaviour of a criminal class and that changes in the criminal justice system were principally the work of far-sighted, humanitarian reformers. In this fourth edition of his now classic account, Professor Emsley draws on new research that has shifted the focus from class to gender, from property crime to violent crime and towards media constructions of offenders, while still maintaining a balance with influential early work in the area. Wide-ranging and accessible, the new edition examines: •  the value of criminal statistics •  the effect that contemporary ideas about class and gender had on perceptions of criminality • changes in the patterns of crime • developments in policing and the spread of summary punishment • the increasing formality of the courts • the growth of the prison as the principal form of punishment and debates about the decline in corporal and capital punishments Thoroughly updated throughout, the fourth edition also includes, for the first time, illuminating contemporary illustrations.

Napoleon: Conquest, Reform and Reorganisation (Seminar Studies)

( Napoleon had a profound impact on the development of bo...)

Napoleon had a profound impact on the development of both France and Europe, and his career had repercussions across the wider world. His career had all the elements of a classical tragedy: having begun with spectacular military and civil achievements, it ended in exile on the tiny Atlantic island of St Helena. Almost two centuries after Napoleon’s death, historians continue to argue about his aims, his achievements and his legacy. In this thoroughly revised and updated new edition, Clive Emsley brings these historiographical debates up-to-date, and broadens his study to include discussion of the cultural and social impact of the Napoleonic era. Divided into five parts this new edition: • offers a succinct summary of Napoleon’s career • examines his impact on France and Europe, as well as including a new chapter on the impact of the Napoleonic adventure on the wider world • considers the relationship between Napoleon and the French Revolution • outlines the difficulties in assessing his career • explores the current debates surrounding Napoleon • contains an expanded selection of primary source documents, ranging from state papers to police reports. A Chronology, Glossary and Who’s Who of key characters are also provided, making this an indispensable textbook for students of nineteenth-century French and European history.

Crime, Police, and Penal Policy: European Experiences 1750-1940

(How did ideas about crime and criminals change in Europe ...)

How did ideas about crime and criminals change in Europe from around 1750 to 1940? How did European states respond to these changes with the development of police and penal institutions? Clive Emsley addresses these questions using recent research on the history of crime and criminal justice in Europe. Exploring the subject chronologically, he addresses the forms of offending, the changing interpretations and understandings of that offending at both elite and popular levels, and how the emerging nation states of the period responded to criminal activity by the development of police forces and the refinement of forms of punishment. The book focuses on the comparative nature in which different states studied each other and their institutions, and the ways in which different reformers exchanged ideas and investigated policing and penal experiments in other countries. It also explores the theoretical issues underpinning recent research, emphasising that the changes in ideas on crime and criminals were neither linear nor circular, and demonstrating clearly that many ideas hailed as new by contemporary politicians and in current debate on crime and its 'solutions', have a very long and illustrious history.

(This widely used book, first published in 1987, examines ...)

This widely used book, first published in 1987, examines changes in crime and the criminal justice system against the larger changes in an industrialising society. Challenging the simplistic view of crime as the work of a criminal class, and changes in the justice system as solely due to humanitarian reformers, it also takes issue with analyses which explain crime patterns wholly in terms of the economic cycle. Recent growth in women's history has helped shift interest from property crime to violent crime, and a main feature of this extensively reworked Second Edition is an entirely new chapter on crime and gender.

Soldier, Sailor, Beggarman, Thief: Crime and the British Armed Services since 1914

(The belief that crime declines at the beginning of major ...)

The belief that crime declines at the beginning of major wars, as young men are drawn into the armed forces, and increases with the restoration of peace, as brutalised veterans are released on to a labour market reorganising for peace, has a long pedigree in Britain. But it has rarely been examined critically and scarcely at all for the period of the two world wars of the twentieth century. This is the first serious investigation of criminal offending by members of the British armed forces both during and immediately after these wars. Its particular focus is the two world wars but, recognising the concerns and the problems voiced in recent years about veterans of the Falklands, the Gulf wars, and the campaign in Afghanistan, Clive Emsley concludes his narrative in the present.
