From 1906 to 1912 the British police contended with the struggles of militant suffragettes and active unionists. In facing the disturbances associated with the suffragette movement and union mobilization, the police confronted the dual problems of maintaining the public order essential to the survival and welfare of the kingdom while at the same time assuring to individuals the liberty necessary for Britain's further progress. This dissertation studies those police activities in detail.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a From 1906 to 1912 the British police contended with the struggles of militant suffragettes and active unionists. In facing the disturbances associated with the suffragette movement and union mobilization, the police confronted the dual problems of maintaining the public order essential to the survival and welfare of the kingdom while at the same time assuring to individuals the liberty necessary for Britain's further progress. This dissertation studies those police activities in detail.
520 $a Primary sources for this dissertation include Cabinet Office, Home Office, and Metropolitan Police Archives; Parliamentary Debates, Parliamentary Papers, and collections of British law reports; and manuscripts, including those of Herbert Henry Asquith, Arthur James Balfour, Herbert John Gladstone, Edward Richard Henry, David Lloyd George, and Reginald McKenna.
520 $a The earlier chapters introduce the theme of the conflict between order and liberty and survey the origins and development of the police from 1829 to 1906. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 examine the confrontation between the police and the suffragettes from 1906 to 1912. Chapters 7, 8, and 9 study the police's difficult position in coping with strikes from 1906 to 1912.
520 $a In conclusion, the author suggests that the British police constituted a relatively democratic institution. Under the control of Parliament, the rule of law, and the direction of the Home Office, the police fulfilled their responsibility of assuring public order at the cost of a minimum of lives and injuries, while they generally protected various kinds of individual liberty. Although they did not manage the suffragette movement as impartially as they dealt with the unions' strike mobilization during the years from 1906 to 1912, the British police served, under the substantial control of the Liberal Government, positively to balance the conflict between order and liberty.
