‘If a man shows fight and struggles, a hit in the pit of the stomach quiets him. If he takes it easy, nothing more happens to him, than an extra squeeze of his throat before he’s left just to keep him still long enough for us to get off.’ So spoke a retired garrotter in 1888, describing one manifestation of the turmoil of criminal behaviour in London.
Crime and Industrial Society in the Nineteenth Century is an account, deduced from contemporary papers, records and reports, of ordinary, day-to-day crime in the nineteenth century and a study of the criminal population of the period. It refers also to the changes that took place during the century and to the economic, social and legal factors that affected crime.
‘By sheer narrative force, the Victorian novelists — Charles Dickens with his Bill Sykes, Fagin and the Artful Dodger: Wilkie Collins and Sheridan Le Fanu with their villains — imposed on the public a certain image of the criminal class of their time. It is the purpose of Dr Tobias to ferret out the facts and to find out how far they confirm the fiction … an impressive achievement’ — Times Educational Supplement
The cover, designed by Germano Facetti, shows a detail from ‘The Pump of Newgate Prison’ by Peter Smith in the London Museum
