Publications Dr Chris A. Williams Research: Chris Williams has published work on the history of policing in the UK which includes, police reform and nineteenth century urban history, the analysis and deployment of criminal statistics; the decline of autonomy of urban police forces in the twentieth century, and the early history of CCTV. His current research interests include the nature and extent of links between colonial and 'home' police in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the prevalence of private payment for policing in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the development of the control room. He is also actively engaged in promoting the preservation of criminal justice records and artefacts, and their presentation to the wider public.
