Cops and Bobbies: Police Authority in New York and London, by Wilbur R. Miller

First printed in 1977, Cops and Bobbles has become “one of the two or three consensus classics in the history of police”, according to Roger Lane, author of Murder in America. In this second edition, Wilbur R. Miller provides a new introduction in which he discusses how police historiography has evolved since the book’s initial publication in response to social change and police developments, particularly in Britain.
