    Volume 2 • Issue 1 • 2024 • Special Issue: "Gute Policey" and police ordinances: local regimes and digital methods


In the early modern period, Gute Policey or 'good order of the community' was an underlying principle of policy, politics and normativity that mainly manifested in police ordinances and related laws/normative sources. Although much research on the topic has been done in Germany, several other projects are now studying the same type of sources and are using similar approaches. In this special issue, we would like to combine both information on the projects and inform the reader about digital techniques/methods that are applied while studying the topic of Policey and police ordinances. This can range from digitisation to HTR, IIIF to automatic classifications. 

  • A focus of the contributions will be on rural spaces, villages, agrarian societies, local regimes/communities/jurisdictions in various countries and related matters/conflicts regulated by police ordinances and other types of law/normative texts.
  • A second focus will be on current research projects on police ordinances and policing and applied digital methods to make normative sources available (as editions databases etc.) and analyse their normative content.
