- This is a first monograph published with Oxford University Press, that incorporates extensive original research in multiple archives across its eight chapters. The book marks an important new intervention in my field, as the first history of burglary in modern Britain. It explores strategies of policing and surveillance against burglary transnationally during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and charts how burglary lay historically at the heart of national debates about the meanings of 'home', experiences of urban life, and social inequality. Two chapters were previously published as articles in high profile journals (on Raffles and on burglary insurance).
