LAW AND ORDER

Hardback. Past into-Present Series. Throughout his account of law enforcement, the author skilfully fills in the social background. As a result the reader can see not only what changes have occurred over the centuries, but just why they came about when they did, and how they affected the day-to-day lives of ordinary citizens. The book's large and numerous illustrations (all taken from contemporary sources) provide a vivid - at times horrific - record of the attempts to maintain law and order in a way that is both efficient and humane.
