{"product_id":"2940169584264","title":"Crime Control and Everyday Life in the Victorian City: The Police \u0026 the Public","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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 offenses. The formation of the \"new\" professional police forces in the 19th 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 offenders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis audiobook 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 amp;mdash; revealing the tremendous activity that ordinary people displayed in responding to crime amp;mdash; alongside a rich survey of police organization and policing in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114533241072,"sku":"2940169584264","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169584264_p0.jpg?v=1763688332","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169584264","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
