ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to record my particular gratitude to Paul Lawrence for his support and help in the evolution of this volume. Moreover, I welcome this opportunity also to thank Clive Emsley, Chris Williams and other staff and colleagues at the Open University History Department and at what is now the International Centre for the History of Crime, Policing and Justice for their friendship, encouragement and challenge for over more than a much enjoyed decade. Finally, I should add my appreciation to all those police officers and police staff high and low who have over a working lifetime contributed to my understanding of their service and to my regard for its members.

INTRODUCTION

The creation of a permanent, bureaucratic, uniformed and stipendiary constabulary on an avowedly preventative model throughout the United Kingdom was arguably one of the most significant achievements of the British state in the nineteenth century. It was not a unique achievement since other European states also established permanent policing systems of their own, the form and character of which varied according to local, especially political, circumstances.1 If not absolutely the first, it was palpably different from what had gone before.

This introduction attempts to analyse the circumstances unique to the changes that occurred in England and Wales, illustrated by way of the more detailed contemporary materials that follow. It argues that the changes in policing reflected larger long-term changes in the governance of the United Kingdom as a whole. What had for centuries been regarded as a local, and locally funded, responsibility became one where the intervention of central government, and concomitant central funding, became increasingly dominant. The process was anything but linear or planned. Rather, outcomes were the product of a complex, stuttering and contested interaction between old forms of government and experiments with new ones. Policing was an early harbinger of a general adjustment which later included other social policy areas such as poverty relief, education and health in outcomes of asymmetrical provision. Because it was in London that the old forms of governance were most challenged, London by and large led the policing changes that occurred.
