520 _a"A History of Police in England" by W. L. Melville Lee is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution of the police system in England, tracing its origins from the Anglo-Saxon period through to the reforms of the 19th century. It delves into the underlying principles, political influences, and societal implications of policing throughout English history, highlighting its unique development compared to other countries. The opening of the work outlines the context in which the author approaches the subject of policing, emphasizing its significance and the lack of comprehensive literature on the topic at the time. Lee discusses the necessity of understanding the evolution of police functions and their impact on public order, liberty, and social responsibility. He highlights the contrast between the historical systems of law enforcement and contemporary expectations, arguing for the importance of recognizing the historical foundations that have shaped modern policing in England.
