Summary
The conclusion summarises the overall argument of the book and reflects on its contributions to different historical fields. It then takes the story forward in time. In several important ways, policing in the later eighteenth and nineteenth centuries developed along lines set down in the early modern period: separation of office from household, impersonal models of authority, and fraternal forms of official masculinity.
