Taking the form of two companion volumes, Police Courts in Nineteenth-Century Scotland represents the first major investigation into summary justice in Scottish towns, c.1800 to1892.

It explores their rise, purpose and internal workings, and how justice was administered and experienced by those who attended them in a variety of roles.
