Abstract

This thesis is a study of the extension of one kind of social control in nineteenth-century England and Wales. Consolidationof the criminal law in the 1820s made new criminal offences of several kinds of behaviour in which children frequently engaged, and the introduction of the 'new' police in the major towns in the 1830s increased the efficiency of law enforcement.
