HO75/1; the Police Gazette reported
and publicised crimes. This was intended to help catch criminals,
of course, but also led to greater awareness of crime and an
impression of a "crime wave". This extract from the
Gazette shows some of the crimes reported in one week in January
1828. |

As you read these
sources look for:
(i) Is this crime the same as crimes committed for hundreds
of years?
(ii) Is this crime just a new opportunity for an old crime?
(iii) Is this an entirely new crime?
In Source 1, look for what was stolen, from what kind of place,
and by whom. |
