In this book, S. M. Edwardes, a senior officer of the British Indian Police force, provides an insightful look into major crimes in India during the colonial period. Rather than offering a dull, year-by-year account of crime statistics, Edwardes focuses on key offences, illustrating their nature, frequency, and characteristics through concrete cases drawn from official crime reports during his service. The book also addresses the divide between the aspirations of India's educated elite and the mentality of the broader population. Edwardes highlights the important role the Indian police, under both European superintendents and Indian officers, played during the tumultuous years of British rule. This volume offers valuable historical insights into the functioning of law enforcement in colonial India.
