Police in Urban America, 1860–1920 - Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Modern History
Eric H. Monkkonen
This book examines the rapid spread of uniformed police forces throughout late nineteenth-century urban America. It suggests that, initially, the new kind of police in industrial cities served primarily as agents of class control, dispensing and administering welfare services as an unintentioned consequence of their uniformed presence on the streets.
