Policing in England and Wales, 1918-39 cover

An examination of the modernization of the English and Welsh police during the interwar years, focusing upon the increasing professionalization of the police, the Federation, forensic work and the growth of traffic policing. The authors challenge the established viewpoint by arguing that this period saw significant changes in policing.

'Laybourn and Taylor's well-written, well-organized account convincingly shows that this was a key period in the development of the modern police'
