""Considering our current discussions and efforts to reform policing, the book offers much to consider in the movement for greater justice and safety in our communities.""—John Baranski, New Mexico Historical Review ""Raspa pushes police historians to look beyond the formal police departments created by big cities and to examine more closely the relationships among the variety of state and non-state actors that only developed into the modern system of formal criminal justice quite late in this country’s history.""—Sam Mitrani, California History “A significant contribution to crime and criminal justice history, the history of San Francisco, and urban history generally. It is an original, innovative treatment of vigilantism in San Francisco and the mining regions and of vigilantism’s implication for policing.”—Wilbur R. Miller, author of A History of Private Policing in the United States
