Includes bibliographical references and index.

Crime There Will Ever Be * Burglary in the Era of the "English Miracle," 1850-1900 * "Adapting the Machine to Meet Them": Traveling Thieves and the Transformation of Police Power, 1900-39 * Women, Work, and Shoplifting in London, c. 1890-1940€ * Aristocrats of Crime: Confidence Men in the Interwar Years * Robbery and the Making of the English Criminal Class, 1945-75 * The Empire Connection: Smugglers and the Modernization of the British Drugs Market * The Ubiquity of Crime.

"This book examines London's transformation from the mid-Victorian "miracle" of low (and diminishing) crime to its status as a high-crime society at the outset of the twenty-first century. It treats six different types of misdeed--burglary, shopbreaking, shoplifting, confidence schemes, robbery, and drug smuggling--as representative of distinct phases in the evolution of criminal activity and the criminal-justice system in modern Britain. It argues that the growth of lawbreaking must be explained by connecting sensational and mundane offenses alike to their social and economic contexts, with a particular focus on how these contexts (including experience within the penal system) shape criminal decision-making and expanded opportunities for transgression"--Provided by publisher.
