City of London Police

enigmatic city overcome with squalor and segregation, teeming with filth and workers blood is igniting a class struggle and division. The overcrowded poor houses left many in poverty and huddling for shelter on the street. The working class deprived of basic necessities of food and warmth (Engles, pg. 23). The upper-class looking on with a sense of mocking; they feel great sympathy, but would not dare enter a slum without a police escort (Walkowitz, pg. 19). This is late 19th century London. A city divided

On October 15, 2011, Occupy London included almost three thousand people gathered outside of the St Paul’s Cathedral. This paper will address how the London off shoot of a global movement, Occupy London (OL), addressed social and economic inequality within England.

flocking in hundreds upon thousands out of the villages and into the city. In Britain the population shot up from “10 million in 1750 to 42 million in 1900” ("Crime and Punishment," par 1).

Why the Police were Unable to Catch Jack the Ripper In the Victorian Times, smog was a big problem. It made visibility extremely bad, so the murders would have been harder to witness. There were lots of prostitutes because there weren’t many jobs available for woman, so they were forced on the streets. Most turned to alcohol. The people out at the time of the murder would have been tramps and drunks, not reliable witnesses. The East End streets were maze-like, and easy

We have learned from our past mistakes; and now have thriving, healthy metropolitan cities today. This book is a historical account of the worst cholera outbreak in
