Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book comprises a thorough 1839 report to The Queen of England, detailing the findings of a royal commission appointed to investigate and make recommendations for improving policing practices in England and Wales. The commission's report, crafted by three appointed commissioners, is a rich source of fascinating and often distressing insights into the realities of life in the 19th century. Based on information gathered from official sources such as magistrates and constables, as well as through direct interviews with criminals, the authors outline the rampant crime and the ineffective policing methods of their day, highlighting the pressing need for reform. The report is compelling not only as an historical document, but also for the astute observations it makes regarding the nature of crime and the proper role of law enforcement. The commissioners delved into the lives of known criminals and vagrants, exploring the social and economic factors contributing to their lawlessness and the limited capacity of existing policing measures to effectively prevent or deter crime. The authors explore themes of social justice and the responsibility of the state to protect its citizens, underscoring the importance of safeguarding individual liberty while ensuring public safety. This book provides an invaluable glimpse into the criminal underworld and policing practices of the 19th century, exposing the deep social inequities and inefficiencies of the time, and offering valuable insights into the enduring debate on how to effectively combat crime.
