About this audiobook
This book 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-revealing the tremendous activity which ordinary people displayed in responding to crime-alongside a rich survey of police organization and policing in practice.
David Churchill
David Churchill was born ages ago in Swindon, where he still lives. He&'s really grateful to his grown-up daughter and son, Alison and Jon, whose combined efforts taught him how to use his computer the right way up. After over thirty years of enjoyable teaching he now leads patients in creative writing in the local hospice supported by a Lottery Millennium Award, walks miles on the hills with his wife Jaci, fishes the Upper Thames and Bristol Avon, gardens and finds every excuse to be part of the local landscape. He thinks his books write themselves when he's not looking, and he hopes they go on doing it.
