Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual of Criminal Classes Operating in Bengal
This book is intended for the instruction of Police Officers in the nzodus Operandi of the many distinct classes of habitual criminals who reside in Bengal, or come from other pro vinces to Bengal for the purpose of committing crime. In a work intended mainly for practical use by Police Officers it has not been consi dered necessary to deal closely with the origin and ethnology of the classes discussed, and it is hoped that, being confined to matters of practical importance from a police point of View, the book wills 'l)e more readily read, under stood and remembered by Police Officers. Most of the material for this book was collected for me by Mr. W. Thrupp, Assistant Superintendent of Police (for a short time on Special Duty in this connection) and Inspector Sarat Chandra Ghose, {min the records of the Criminal Inves tigation Department. Much of the information has been published from time to time in the Notes on Criminal Classes in the Bengal Criminal Intelligence Gazette which have been revised and altered to a form suitable for inclu sion in the Manual.
