- Authors
Smale, David
- Abstract
The article discusses police officer Alfred John List and his influence on rural policing in the Scottish counties from roughly 1832 to 1877. It comments on his early career in the Metropolitan Police of London, England and his time leading the Haddingtonshire police of East Lothian, Scotland and the Edinburghshire police of Midlothian, Scotland. The theories set forth in List's book "A Practical Treatise on Rural Police" are explored. Other topics include the issue of vagrancy and the transition of policing from a part-time to a full-time occupation.
