Dr. Miller's research centers on early modern Britain (17th-19th centuries), with a focus on social history, legal history, gender dynamics, and policing practices. He investigates how everyday governance, particularly policing, intersected with broader power structures including patriarchy and the state apparatus. His work reveals the complex interplay between local community practices and centralizing state power during a transformative period in British history.
His publication record demonstrates a consistent exploration of crime, punishment, and social order in historical context. Recent works examine electoral processes in 18th-century London parishes, gendered dimensions of early modern policing, and the evolution of stop-and-search practices. This body of work has established him as a significant voice in the history of crime and state formation.
Awards:
- British Society of Criminology's Policing Network prize for 'The Touch of the State: Stop and Search in England, c.1660-1750' (2019)
