Police Power in the Italian Communes, 1228-1326 - Premodern Crime and Punishment
Gregory Roberts
Medieval states are widely assumed to have lacked police forces. Yet in the Italian city-republics, soldiers patrolled the streets daily in search of lawbreakers. 'Police Power in the Italian Communes, 1228-1326' is the first book to examine the emergence of urban policing in medieval Italy and its impact on city life.
