The railway policeman's casebook
Stacpoole-Ryding, Richard J.2016
Book
The opportunity to commit crime on the railways began from the day they were being built. The crimes both mirrored the range of those committed outside and existed in a microcosm of their own. It was the work of the various railway company police forces and predecessor forces to investigate and bring to justice the perpetrators. This book takes us back from the very early days of railway policing to the halcyon days of the 1940s to the 1980s when policing methods, image, and perception were reflected in television series such as Dixon of Dock Green, Z Cars and The Bill.
