My dissertation analyzes the action pursued by the police in Bologna during the years of
Restoration in solving critical family situations through the use of a conciliatory attitude
that allowed for the avoidance of court intervention even in the presence of criminal
behavior. The Police took a non-repressive approach towards adultery, illegitimate
pregnancies, rape and other family disorders provided they didn’t implicate a public
scandal and, when they were called upon to settle disputes between spouses, police
officers always tried to maintain matrimonial stability as well as social peace. The sources
of my research were the numerous documents produced by the Direzione provinciale di
polizia between 1814 and 1859 that testify to the police's large involvement in cases of
matrimonial conflict: a rich and vivid source of material that provides the opportunity to
study how the different parties acted and interacted in a changing society such as Bologna
in the period following the restoration of papal power. The main aim has been to
investigate the origins of police choices and attitudes in the field of private life and to
develop a better understanding of policing in previous centuries where the origins of most
of the observed phenomena can be found. I devoted particular attention to non-judiciary
practices of peacemaking to compare them with the official way of dealing with family
disorder and to obtain a reliable frame of Nineteenth century police action.
