虽然19世纪英国警察对城市秩序的监管理念受到了学术界的广泛关注，但对这种类型的警务在实践中如何运作的参与有限。通过第一次检查的演变和家谱的“潜伏”和“游荡”，两个法律的术语，形成了一个突出的部分，从十八世纪后期的警察语言的怀疑，本文强调的关键作用，这法律的语言在行使警察权力的城市空间。18世纪末和19世纪上半叶是城市秩序焦虑的形成时期，其中“潜伏”和“游荡”这两个法律的范畴引起了强烈的关注。它认为，警察通过针对威胁城市秩序的“可疑人物”来监管城市秩序是一种深层的警务结构，值得进一步审查，以了解根深蒂固的警察刻板印象做法。
While the ideals of the police regulation of urban order in nineteenth-century Britain have received significant scholarly attention, there has been limited engagement with how this type of policing operated in practice. By examining for the first time the evolution and genealogy of ‘lurking’ and ‘loitering’, two legal terms that formed a prominent part of the police language of suspicion from the later eighteenth century, this article emphasises the critical role of this legal language in the exercise of police power over urban space. The late eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth centuries is revealed as a formative period in the development of anxieties around ordering the urban sphere, in which the legal categories ‘lurking’ and ‘loitering’ evoked powerful concerns. It argues that the police regulation of urban order by targeting the ‘suspicious characters’ who threatened it is a deep structure of policing, which merits further examination to understand deep-rooted police stereotyping practices.
