  • The Port of Bristol in the Second Half of the Eighteenth Century
    The port of Bristol in the second half of the eighteenth century: An examination of the organisational structure of the port pertaining to the management and operation of its shipping with special reference to ships trading with the West Indies and America. Volume 1 of 2. Submitted by John Gilbert MacMillan to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in August 2015. This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other university. Signature………………………………… 1 Abstract. In comparison to the amount of research that has been carried out on Royal Navy affairs and its ports and dockyards, few studies have been done on the day to day operations of merchant shipping and civilian ports, especially in the eighteenth century. This thesis attempts to partly redress this by examining at depth the workings of the Port of Bristol and its shipping in this period, using contemporary records where they have survived and a system of cross-referencing where they have not. The physical structure and amenities of the port were subject to close examination, not only to establish whether they were suitable for their purpose, but to observe the effectiveness of the systems that were in place regarding their use.

  • The Thames River Police Heritage Trail
    The Thames River Police Heritage Trail By Minelle White, Rachel Kawoya & Siobhan Williams St. Margaret’s Church Nearest Tube Stations: Westminster, St. James’ Park Situated in the heart of Westminster, in the shadow of Westminster Abbey you will find St. Margaret’s Church, the parish church of Parliament. Located on Thorney Island, it was originally built by Edward the Confessor in the 11th Century. The church we see today was constructed in 1523. Many famous people are commemorated there, such as the famous Elizabethan explorer Sir Walter Raleigh (who is buried under the altar), and such events as the baptism of Olaudah Equiano, a freed slave also known as Gustavus Vassa who supported the British The front of the church abolitionist movement. The church is home to the memorial stone of Patrick Colquhoun, a Scottish magistrate and founder of the Thames River Police, alongside John Harriott and The West India Committee. He wrote ‘A Treatise on the Police of the Metropolis’ a groundbreaking study of crime in London, which also outlined a preventive police force to combat it. He identified different types of criminals, many of them river workers, stealing goods from West Indian ships and gave them flamboyant names such as Rat-Catchers, Light and Heavy Horsemen and Scuffle-Hunters. His influential work led to him being commissioned by the West India Committee to design a police force to protect the trade on the River Thames. As you enter the church, the stone is located to the left, in the corner, and lists his many achievements. New Scotland Yard Nearest Tube Station: Westminster The sign over New Scotland Yard Leaving St Margaret’s Church, walk to Parliament Square where you will find statues of famous politicians, such as the former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela, and former British Prime Minister and the founder of the Metropolitan Police Robert Peel.

  • The Impact of the First Professional Police Forces on Crime*
    The Impact of the First Professional Police Forces on Crime* Anna Bindler University of Gothenburg Randi Hjalmarsson University of Gothenburg and CEPR This version: November 7, 2018 Abstract: This paper evaluates the impact of the introduction of professional police forces on crime using manually transcribed archival records and two natural experiments in history: the formation of the London Metropolitan Police in 1829 (the first professional force worldwide) and the subsequent roll-out of professional forces to the counties of England and Wales from 1839 to 1856. These new professional police were explicitly tasked with deterring crime, which contrasts the mandate of the old, informal ‘police’ to simply apprehend criminals. Estimating pre-post, difference-in-differences as well as event-study specifications, we find evidence that the creation of the Met reduced London crime overall and across crime categories. A difference- in-differences analysis of county force roll-out finds that high quality police forces, measured by the population to force ratio, significantly reduced violent, property and other crimes, while there was no visible net crime reducing effect of a force that was not sufficiently large. JEL Codes: K42, N93, H0 Keywords: police, crime, deterrence, economic history * This paper would not have been possible without the tremendous effort of our research assistants Srinidhi Srinivasan and Vu Tran, and the financial support of Vetenskapsrådet, The Swedish Research Council, Grants for Distinguished Young Researchers. We thank seminar and workshop participants at the University of Gothenburg, the VATT Institute for Economics Research (Helsinki), the University of Uppsala, the University of Bologna, the NBER Summer Institute (Crime), the Transatlantic Workshop of Crime (Science Po Paris) and the IZA Bonn for helpful comments and discussion.
