Scope and content
This series documents Beattie's conference presentations and public lectures. It covers a range of topics, including his books, Crime and the Courts, Policing and Punishment in London 1660-1750, and Bow Street Runners. His talks also delve into various research interests more generally, such as women and crime, early policing history, urban crime, the development of prisons (with a focus on the Kingston Penitentiary), the history of penal transportation, and the relationship between crime, economics, and society. There is a folder of digital word processing files of Beattie’s talks from 1999-2013. Also included is a video of Beattie delivering the 2006 Lansdowne Lecture at the University of Victoria and three audio cassette tape recordings of lectures delivered by Beattie, ca. 1992-1993.
