with Barry Cunliffe.
Crime figures published recently showed the highest percentage rise since records began. In the light of these statistics and current debate on how the police might be funded, Sean Street talks to Carolyn Steedman about the formation of provincial police forces in the 19th century.
And Brian Gear browses through the Newgate Calendar, which chronicled the careers and fates of some of 18th-century Britain's most notorious criminals.
