A timely look at early 20th‑century immigration policy and its impact on crime in Britain.

This edition illuminates how the Aliens Act of 1905 and its related rules shaped who could land, how disputes were handled, and who faced deportation.

Set against a backdrop of public debate and evolving law, it traces the administration of immigration at port towns, the role of medical inspectors, and the functioning of Immigration Boards. It surveys how statistics were gathered and interpreted, and what that meant for policy and public opinion.
What you’ll experience

A clear overview of how leave to land and conditional disembarkation worked in practice
A close look at the procedures for appeals, legal assistance, and board hearings
An analysis of nationalities and offenses in alien prison statistics and the policy questions they raised

Ideal for readers of history, law, and criminology who want to understand how policy, enforcement, and public sentiment intersected in this era.
