Reviews
'Clive Emsley’s magisterial study of crime and society has been skilfully updated to incorporate new research and recent historiographical trends. It is highly recommended for all seeking to understand the depth and complexity of crime and punishment in the long nineteenth century.' Sarah Richardson, University of Warwick, UK 'Clive Emsley’s Crime and Society in England, 1750-1900 has, for thirty years, been a valuable general guide for students and scholars to the history of English justice during a period of fundamental change. With each new edition of his volume he has substantially updated his synthesis of this rapidly changing field in the light of the best recent scholarship. For anyone interested in the social and institutional history of crime and the criminal justice system, there is no better place to begin than Emsley’s book.' Randall McGowen, University of Oregon, US
