About this book

Formal policing outside cities became common in the early twentieth century, at about the time the film industry was taking shape. The two developed side by side, and the book examines the ways they intersected on screen.

Much film scholarship has concentrated on the criminal in early American cinema, while the figure opposed to the criminal has been studied far less. This history follows how on-screen portrayals of that antagonist changed over the period.
