McManus Stories
The Palatinate, the Peninsular and the Slum
Michael McManus explores the historical sociology of policing, public administration, inequality, and Irish immigration in Victorian Durham.
Policing and social change in Victorian Durham
The Palatinate, the Peninsular and the Slum: The Science of Police in Victorian Durham studies the administrative response to rapid urban and industrial change.
The book considers policing, crime, sanitation, inequality, and the contrast between affluent Durham residents and less privileged communities. Irish immigrants form one of its comparative groups. Michael also draws on his own experience as a police officer when considering the institutional development of policing and its later changes.
