Reseña de The Facts Of Scotland Yard: A Brief History And The Real Cases

The Facts Of Scotland Yard: A Brief History And The Real Cases de Ignacio Luckey Resumen del Libro

Scotland Yard is arguably the most famous police force in Britain, its very name synonymous 'bobbies' patrolling the pea-soup nights of Victorian London. The author explores its origins and evolution, its standout cases, and the colorful real-life detectives. When Scotland Yard’s first detective branch was set up in 1842 crime was very different from today. Detectives had few aids and suffered many disadvantages. The bloody handprints found at two early murder scenes were of no help, there being no way of telling whether blood (or hair) was human or animal. Fingerprinting was fifty years away, DNA profiling another hundred, and photography was too new to help with identification. All reports had to be handwritten with a dip pen and ink and the only means of keeping contact with colleagues and disseminating information was by post, horseback, or foot. In spite of these handicaps and severe press criticism, the detectives achieved some significant successes. The author includes such classic cases as the First Railway Murder, as well as many fascinating, fresh reports, weaving in new developments like the electric telegraph against a background of authentic Victorian police procedure.
