| Summary: | The paper analyzes the structure and content of the journal «Bulletin of the
Police» on the basis of archival materials as a valuable historical source that allows
reconstructing data on the dynamics and nature of crime in the Russian Empire
during the First World War. From the standpoint of the theory of historical everyday
life, it is argued that the distinctive features of the journal «Bulletin of the Police»
are the regularity of coverage of criminal crime on the pages of the publication,
a wide geographical coverage and a detailed description of events, as well as
the publication of court photographs. At the same time, from a source point of
view, this publication has a number of drawbacks, among which there is a onesided positive coverage of the work of the police in the fight against crime, the
bureaucratic style of presentation of many published articles, as well as the silencing
of many problematic issues in the field of studying crime during the war period and
measures to combat it. The paper substantiates the conclusion that for a deep and
comprehensive scientific analysis of the dynamics of crime in the Russian Empire
during the First World War, this historical source contains extremely important
information that allows revealing the state of the criminogenic situation from the
perspective of everyday life and the activities of police agencies and displaying its
results in the public mind. |
