Victorian Crime by Peter Chrisp
This title explores the rise of crime in Victorian times. Throughout the book, the canine history detective, Sherlock Bones, helps the reader find clues in newspapers, photographs, paintings, artefacts and other primary sources. These give the reader enough evidence to present a project on Victorian crime and to answer questions such as: why did people turn to crime?; what crimes did they commit?; and how were they caught? Throughout the book there are mysteries and puzzles to solve on these questions and more. A useful text for 7-10 year-olds, providing support for Key Stage 2 History National Curriculum where pupils study Victorian Britain. It approaches the study of history through historical enquiry, using different sources of information which is also a requirement of the Key Stage 2 History National Curriculum.
Victorian Crime is a stand-out title in this series, for its unflinching examination of pictures of punishment and poverty- BBC HistoryThis is a singularly informative, entertaining, but useful book concerning the life of the criminal under-classes of the 19th century...it is admirably constructed to help a young person in developing research skills and should arouse in him or her a taste for historical enquiry. - The School Librarian
