- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph draws on wide-ranging relevant secondary work and its main arguments are based on original primary research gathered over around ten years in ten different British archives. The long period covered required a variety of different research techniques in order to arrive at a coherent analytical framework to cover the whole period under investigation. This necessitated a significant breadth of archival research. It relates to the disciplines of social history, criminology, and information history and thus required comprehensive scholarship of research in each of these disciplines.
