It explores the meaning of violence through an accessible mixture of detailed empirical research and a broad survey of cutting-edge historical theory.
The author discusses topics such as street fighting, policing, sports, community discipline and domestic violence and shows how the nineteenth century established enduring patterns in views of violence.
Violence and Crime in Nineteenth-Century England will be essential reading for advanced students and researchers of modern British history, social and cultural history and criminology.
