Extended description

This is a unique account of the early days of policing in England from the night watchmen of the 1820s to the introduction and development of the detective force up and until 1910. It contains a particularly unusual report of life on the beat and how officers dealt with a variety of crimes. The information is all taken directly from police officers' notebooks, newspaper cuttings from that Victorian period of change, and includes watchmen reports, newspaper cuttings, and verification by the central Museum and Greater Manchester Police Museum. Much of the contents have been developed from the personal notes of one of Manchester's top detectives Supt James Wood, a former soldier and royal protection officer who served Queen, King and country until 1910. * Much of this early copy is the fascinating, raw unedited version with references for university students.It is an ideal study for law and media students.
