Oh for fuck’s sake. 🚨 The roots of American policing weren’t about “protect & serve” — they were about catch & control. Slave patrols, brutality, suppression. That DNA never left. It just put on a badge. 👮‍♂️💀

Musing No 6 West Mercia Police hand the 'Bella' file over and other thoughts

I've just posted my Musings No 6 on Substack thinking about two murder files which have been passed to local record offices - papers on the Hagley Wood and Haw Bridge murders. You can read it here: angiesuttonvane.substack.com/p/musing-no-6 #murder #history #policehistory #crime #archives

Musing No 5 Bella is lost

And I have just posted my Friday Substack - having spent much time with Bella in the archives - here are some more thoughts about murder files and the loss of evidence and exhibits. #archives #materialculture #history #policehistory #murder #crime substack.com/home/post/p-...

London in the Second World War In this exhibition at The London Archives explore the experiences of Londoners during the Second World War and the effect it had on the city they knew.

Will be well worth a visit - if only for the remarkable Blitz photographs taken by Arthur Cross and Frederick Tibbs, both City of London police officers #Cityhistory #policehistory www.thelondonarchives.org/visit-us/exh...

Musing No 1 The materiality of the archive, murder files and reflexive research

I'm now on Substack and writing about writing and murder files. Have a read. #history #archives #policehistory #records #materialculture open.substack.com/pub/angiesut...

A police cap badge from the Berkshire Constabulary

What’s behind Door 7 of WPC Crockford’s advent calendar? It’s Mum’s Berkshire Constabulary cap badge. The constabulary, formed in 1856, was amalgamated with others to become the Thames Valley Police in 1968. Nice stag! #policehistory #truecrime #womenpolice #womenwriters #Berkshire

Map of beats on part of E (Holborn) Division from the Euston Road down to Grays Inn, with different beats in different colours, grouped together as Section 1 (six beats) and Section 2 (nine beats).

#Green was the colour of the Edwardian UCL beat (top left), along with two near the Foundling Hospital (centre right) - the latter's parade ground had been the site of the Met's first muster in September 1829. #Museum30 #museums #history #policehistory

Hefty women with brains wanted.
