Reviews

These two volumes constitute a heavyweight companion study in every sense of the term - except, that is, for the clear, well-argued and accessible text. Carefully researched, based on an impressive range of archival sources, and rooted in detailed knowledge of existing scholarship, Police Courts makes a valuable and important contribution to a hitherto under-researched aspect of criminal justice history. Written by scholars who, intellectually, form a formidable duo, this exhaustive examination of Scottish police courts, their activities and their personnel puts down a bench mark that will be essential reading for historians of England and Scotland who will need carefully to reflect on the study's arguments and findings and follow up with new research.'Clive Emsley, Open University, UK
