McLeod EVIEW R ABSTRACT This Article introduces to legal scholarship the first sustained discussion of prison LA LAW LA LAW C abolition and what I will call a “prison abolitionist ethic.” Prisons and punitive policing U produce tremendous brutality, violence, racial stratification, ideological rigidity, despair, and waste. Meanwhile, incarceration and prison-backed policing neither redress nor repair the very sorts of harms they are supposed to address—interpersonal violence, addiction, mental illness, and sexual abuse, among others. Yet despite persistent and increasing recognition of the deep problems that attend U.S. incarceration and prison- backed policing, criminal law scholarship has largely failed to consider how the goals of criminal law—principally deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, and retributive justice—might be pursued by means entirely apart from criminal law enforcement. Abandoning prison-backed punishment and punitive policing remains generally unfathomable. This Article argues that the general reluctance to engage seriously an abolitionist framework represents a failure of moral, legal, and political imagination.

    1 From The Newgate Calendar to Sherlock Holmes Heather Worthington In Arthur Conan Doyle ’ s fi rst Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet (1887), Dr Watson is introduced to Holmes by Stamford, an ex - colleague from Bart ’ s (St Bartholomew’ s Hospital, London). Stamford and Watson fi nd Holmes conducting an experiment which, he declares, will reliably identify bloodstains. Such a discovery would have proved the guilt of any number of murderers, he tells them: “ Von Bischoff … Mason … Muller … Lefevre … Samson … I could name a score of cases in which it would have been decisive. ” Stamford responds by saying that Holmes seems “ to be a walking calendar of crime ” (Doyle 1986 : 1.8), using “ calendar ” to mean a list or directory and admiring Holmes ’ s encyclopedic knowledge of criminal biography. But the word is also applicable to the list of prisoners for trial at an assizes and it is in this sense that, in the eighteenth century, the title “ The Newgate Calendar ” came into being. Separated by over a century, the late nineteenth - century Holmes narratives and those of The Newgate Calendar nonetheless share common ground in their focus on crime, criminality and the criminal individual. But The Newgate Calendar is a col- lection of factual criminal biographies; the Sherlock Holmes stories are fi ctional representations of criminal cases in which the detective solves the crime and identifi es the perpetrator. The format, structure, and function of the two crime narratives are very different and the criminographic developments which occurred in the years that separate them are a major part of the history of the crime fi ction genre and the subject of this chapter.

    Popular Fiction: Detective Novels and Thrillers from Holmes to Rebus

    Popular Fiction: Detective Novels and Thrillers from Holmes to Rebus David Goldie Scottish writers have, at times, played a role in detective, adventure, and thriller writing that is out of proportion to the size of the nation. Though Scotland played no significant part in the twentieth- century’s so-called ‘Golden Age’ of crime fiction, which was dominated by English and American authors, its writers were influential in establishing the genre in the late nineteenth century and can, in the early twenty-first century, count among themselves some of its most popular global practitioners. This chapter may not be able to offer a satisfactory explanation of why this is the case – unfortunately literary criticism is rarely as tidy as fictional detective work – but it will offer an account of the somewhat punctuated evolution of crime and thriller fiction in the Scottish context in the period that runs from Conan Doyle to so-called Tartan Noir. Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Louis Stevenson are Scottish writers who demand attention principally because of the impact their work had on a popular writing based on action and suspense, on psychological instability and the solving of puzzles. Conan Doyle’s place in the history of detective fiction needs little elaboration. Though he took up a genre that had been established in the 1830s and 40s by Vidocq’s Mémoires, the Newgate novels, and Edgar Allan Poe’s Dupin stories, and which had been experimented with variously by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, and, most successfully, by Émile Gaboriau, Conan Doyle established in the popular mind the type of the detective story in its modern form.

The Metropolitan Police Act of 1829 introduced system had become ineffective. Tradition and the a centralized and unified system of police in concepts of tlhe new industrial capitalism delayed England. The Act constituted a revolution in both the recognition of, and the willingness to deal traditional methods of law enforcement.
