Police in the Age of Improvement is written by David Barrie and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1317436636 (ISBN 10) and 9781317436638 (ISBN 13).
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the economic, social, intellectual and political factors that shaped police reform, development and policy in Scottish burghs during the 'Age of Improvement'. In doing so, it moves beyond many of the 'problem-response' interpretations which have preoccupied many police historians, and locates reform within the wider contexts of urban improvement, municipal administration and Scottish Enlightenment thought.
