The Historical and Cultural Legacies of the London Magistrates’ Courts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 February 2021
Three wider frames of analysis, all engaged in the introduction and throughout the volume, merit some closing considerations that will pave the way for further exploration of courtroom culture in other contexts. The first of these frames is the legal and administrative development of London and how its intertwining with the magistrates’ courts might help us reconsider metropolitan history. Secondly, the prominence of police courts in popular journalism and the contrast between these portrayals and daily practice have important implications for how we understand culture, both in the metropolitan context and in relation to governance. A final topic worthy of further engagement is how the relationship between the modern state, Liberalism, and the individual was changing over time, and the role that police courts and their depictions played in these changes.
