The work focuses on the various crimes and misdemeanors affecting public and private property and security in the metropolis, and proposes remedies to prevent such criminal activities. Colquhoun, who served as a magistrate, aims to shed light on the inadequacies of the criminal justice system and advocate for an improved policing system. The opening of the treatise lays the foundation for the discussion on crime and policing in London at the turn of the century. It highlights the pressing issues of rising criminal activity and the failure of existing laws and law enforcement to address these problems. Colquhoun articulates the need for a more effective and preventive police system, emphasizing the importance of a structured approach to crime prevention and detailing the consequences of neglecting the moral fabric of society. He critiques the severity and inconsistencies within the penal code and advocates for reforms to protect the peace and security of inhabitants, ultimately aiming to instigate change within the legislative framework.
