Viac o knihe

Focusing on the intricate interplay of economic, social, intellectual, and political factors, this book examines police reform in Scottish burghs during the 'Age of Improvement.' It challenges traditional 'problem-response' narratives by situating these reforms within broader themes of urban enhancement, municipal governance, and the influences of Scottish Enlightenment thought, offering a comprehensive understanding of the development and policies shaping law enforcement during this transformative period.
