Crime and Authority in Victorian England: The Black Country 1835-1860

By David Philips

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.
