The Industrial Revolution seemed, to contemporary eyes, to produce an upsurge of crime threatening a complete breakdown of social order. Focusing on one industrial area – the Black Country for 1835–1860 – Crime and Authority in Victorian England, originally published in 1977 tests the validity of those contemporary fears.
