It does not provide a comprehensive account of the ways in which early modern law enforcement was shaped by gender. The focus is narrower but it is set in a wide analytical frame, drawing inspiration from feminist scholarship on the shifting relationship between gender and the state, especially Carole Pateman's idea of a transition from paternal to fraternal forms of male power"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on June 14, 2023) Subject Law enforcement -- England -- History -- 17th century Law enforcement -- England -- History -- 18th century Constables -- England -- History -- 17th century Constables -- England -- History -- 18th century Sex role -- England -- History -- 17th century Sex role -- England -- History -- 18th century Constables Law enforcement Sex role Social conditions SUBJECT England -- Social conditions -- 17th century. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85043314 England -- Social conditions -- 18th century. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85043315 Subject England Genre/Form History Form Electronic book LC no. 2023011755 ISBN 9781009305174 1009305174 9781009305150 1009305158
