Miller Abstract The long history of stop and search has rarely been explored. In early modern England, particularly in London, the officers who used this power discriminated by gender as they have done more recently by race. The physical experiences of being searched reveal the highly gendered nature of official power in this period. From the first moment of suspicion to the end of the search, agents of the state thought, and then touched, as men.
