Interwar Halifax was a city in flux, a place where citizens debated adopting new ideas and technologies but agreed on one thing – modernity was corrupting public morality and unleashing untold social problems on their fair city. In this context, citizens, policy makers, and officials turned to the criminal justice system to create a bulwark against further social dislocation. Officials modernized the city’s machinery of order – courts, prisons, and the police force – and placed greater emphasis on crime control, while residents supported tough-on-crime measures and attached little importance to rehabilitation. These initiatives gave birth to a constructed vision of a criminal class that singled out ethnic minorities, working-class men, and female and juvenile offenders as problem figures in the eternal quest for order. Michael Boudreau’s in-depth study of crime and culture in interwar Halifax, the first of its kind, shows how tough-on-crime measures can compound, rather than resolve, social inequalities and dislocations.

This book, which arose from a graduate seminar in Maritime history in 1991-92, offers the first systematic and comparative overview of community development for the entire Atlantic region. The book assesses the published census returns from Confederation to the present to track the growth and development of each town and city in the region, and surveys aspects of the region's political economy since Confederation, paying close attention to the rise and fall of an industrial core and the emergent dependencies that were being reshaped by the expanding of government in determining the fate of Atlantic Canada. A typology of community experiences is followed by a reflection on the consequences for the contemporary urban scene of political and economic transformation.
