New book:
/You’re nicked: Investigating British television police series /By Ben 
Lamb is out now! https://manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526125859/

You're nicked is the first comprehensive book long study of television 
police series in the UK. It shows how British television's most popular 
genre has developed stylistically, politically and philosophically from 
1955 to the present. Each chapter focuses on a particular decade, 
investigating how the most-watched series represent the inner workings 
of the police station, the civilian life of criminals and the private 
lives of police officers. This new methodological approach unearths the 
complex ideology underpinning each series and discerns the key insights 
the genre can provide into the breakdown of the post-war settlement. A 
must-have for scholars and students of British history, television, 
sociology and criminology, the book will also be of interest to 
crime-drama enthusiasts worldwide.
