| Summary | "Notes of an Itinerant Policeman" by Josiah Flynt is a non-fiction narrative written in the late 19th century. This work recounts the author's firsthand experiences and observations while serving as a police officer, primarily focusing on interactions with tramps, criminals, and various offenders within the American socio-legal landscape. Through his explorations, Flynt sheds light on the complexities of crime, the nature of criminal classes, and societal attitudes toward them, making it a compelling study for those interested in crime and law enforcement. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for Flynt's unique police experience, highlighting his initial desire to understand the criminal underworld from an official standpoint. He describes his role as a patrolman for a railroad police force, where he was assigned a vast beat that allowed him to encounter a myriad of criminals. Flynt’s reflections capture his motivations—driven not by vendetta but by a genuine curiosity about the criminals and their lifestyles. As he discusses his interactions with various offenders, including the classification of criminal types, the narrative promises an insightful exploration of the psychology behind criminal behavior and the societal structures that inform crime, establishing a rich context for the ensuing chapters that delve deeper into these themes.
