How did the institutions of the criminal justice system deal with the challenges and practical problems in its processes, both new and rediscovered, during the inter-war years? This book explores a relatively neglected but significant area of modern crime and criminal justice history: one beset by a range of issues such as police corruption, new scientific techniques, racecourse gangs, and public order disturbance such as street gambling and youth crime.This book examines various aspects of the inter-war criminal justice system, including how the courts overcome practical, evidential and procedural problems; tensions between the police and the Director for Public Prosecution, how the police responded to scandal and controversy and the challenges presented by gang and public order offences. This book will be of interest to all those interested in the development of the criminal justice system, as well as the history of courts and policing.

Propaganda Prints reviews the history, cultural diversity and artistic legacy of art produced in the service of social and political change from ancient times to the present day. The author presents the arts of state control, of opposition, of revolution, of advertising, politics and self-promotion in their historical contexts, with three hundred images to evoke some of the dreams and concerns which have driven humanity through the last five thousand years. The Ancient Mesopotamians are there with the Romans, the Crusaders, the Normans, the Victorians, the Suffragettes, the Nazis and the Hippies. The American, French, Russian, Mexican, Chinese and Cuban revolutions all contribute as do many, far too many, wars. From Gutenberg's printing press to You Tube, from Alexander to Obama, this review of propaganda art reflects the best and the worst of us, and offers the pictures by way of consolation.
