5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful miscellany of police related history and facts, 19 Feb 2000
This review is from: The Official Encyclopedia of Scotland Yard (Hardcover)
I was involved in checking the entries for this book and know the contents well. I have recently worked through it again and am really taken by the photographs - the almost Victorian like classroom in the Police orphanage, the famous WPC chasing the naked urchins by the Serpentine, the cartoon of "John Bull" kicking the Home Secretary down the steps of the Home Office, and so on. My favourite story is about Irene Savidge, a prostitute, who was caught with a customer Sir Leo Money in Hyde Park. Sir Leo was acquitted and there was an enormous fuss and great attacks on the police because the establishment closed ranks and pilloried the individual officers. BUT several years later Sir Leo was caught attacking a respectable woman on a train, and convicted and fined. Which all goes to show that justice catches up with all of us in the end!

5.0 out of 5 stars Every True Crime MUST have this book, 25 Mar 2001
By Amanda Howard "Amanda Howard" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Official Encyclopedia of Scotland Yard (Hardcover)
Anyone who has ever had an interest in crime this is the book for you. It is written (and written well) by the two foremost respected criminologists in the UK. It covers everything from the early years of crime detection including Jack the Ripper up until modern day times - with ALOT in between. This book should be on every true crime buff's shelf. An amazing reference book and interesting read.
