The history of modern crime control is usually presented as a narrative of how the state wrested control over the governance of crime from the civilian public Most accounts trace the decline of a participatory discretionary culture of crime control in the early modern era and its replacement by a centralized bureaucratic system of responding to offending The formation of the new professional police forces in the nineteenth century is central to this narrative henceforth it is claimed the priorities of criminal justice were to be set by the state as ordinary people lost what authority they had once exercised over dealing with offendersThis book challenges this established view and presents a fundamental reinterpretation of changes to crime control in the age of the new police It breaks new ground by providing a highly detailed empirical analysis of everyday crime control in Victorian provincial cities revealing the tremendous activity which ordinary people displayed in responding to crime alongside a rich survey of police organization and policing in practice With unique conceptual clarity it seeks to reorient modern criminal justice history away from its established preoccupation with state systems of policing and punishment and move towards a more nuanced analysis of the governance of crime More widely the book provides a unique and valuable vantage point from which to rethink the role of civil society and the state in modern governance the nature of agency and authority in Victorian England and the historical antecedents of pluralized modes of crime control which characterize contemporary society

What made some 700 men and women in the Yorkshire town of KingstonuponHull in the years 1837 to 1900 decide to suffer no longer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and take their own lives In this study the author seeks to uncover the experiences that drove people to suicide to analyze how suicide was understood by victims by their families and friends and by legal and medical authorities to study how the presumed causes of suicide and the meanings of suicide changed over time and in response to changed social circumstances and to see what suicide narratives elicited by coroners inquests can tell us about Victorian life beliefs and values in generalThe book is based on an unprecedentedly complete and comprehensive collection of inquest files covering the entire Victorian era in Hull most coroners files have not survived or exist only in fragmentary form Hitherto suicide in the Victorian period has been examined only on a national basis where local evidence has been used it has come chiefly from London Through the testimony of relatives neighbors friends and even the deceased by means of suicide notes the author has been able to get closer to the experience of suicide and its social construction than has been possible in any previous studyThe framework within which the author evaluates the paths to suicide is the life cycle By placing each suicide in its local socioeconomic context and by examining each stage in the life course for each sex and for different social levels the author has been able to assess causation factors with great confidence He establishes arguments such as the importance of declining wages and job security for older men and the loss of a marital partner for either sex more securely than have earlier studies and puts some new arguments on the agenda such as the importance of the presence or absence of interpersonal ties and the influence of Poor Law policy
