While working as the metropolitan correspondent for the London Morning Chronicle, Mayhew initiated several investigations into London's poor and the state of the city's prisons. Sourcing his information from guards and from prisoners themselves, Mayhew's monumental study of London criminal life (co-written with John Binny and published in 1862) includes analyses of crime areas, crime classifications and the state of the different prisons connected to them, observations on juvenile delinquents, and methods of discipline and control of prisoners. The book also provides detailed police and criminal statistics. His survey ultimately concluded that all of London's prisons were lacking in basic human necessities and were greatly in need of reform.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAdvertisement\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: London considered as a great world\u003cbr\u003e A balloon view of London\u003cbr\u003e Some idea of the size and population of London\u003cbr\u003e London from Different Points of View: The entry into London by rail\u003cbr\u003e The Port of London\u003cbr\u003e London from the top of St. Paul's\u003cbr\u003e The Contrasts of London: Of the riches and poverty of London\u003cbr\u003e The charity and crime of London\u003cbr\u003e Of the London streets, their traffic, names, and character\u003cbr\u003e Professional London\u003cbr\u003e Legal London\u003cbr\u003e The Administration of the Criminal Law: The criminal prisons and prison population of London\u003cbr\u003e The London convict prisons and the convict population\u003cbr\u003e Of prison discipline\u003cbr\u003e The Convict Prisons of London: Pentonville Prison\u003cbr\u003e The female convict prison at Brixton\u003cbr\u003e The hulks at Woolwich\u003cbr\u003e Millbank Prison - the convict depot\u003cbr\u003e The Correctional Prisons of London: The Middlesex House of Correction, Coldbath Fields\u003cbr\u003e The Middlesex House of Correction, Tothill Fields\u003cbr\u003e The Surrey House of Correction, Wandsworth\u003cbr\u003e The City House of Correction, Holloway\u003cbr\u003e The Detentional Prisons of London: Newgate Jail\u003cbr\u003e The House of Correction, Clerkenwell\u003cbr\u003e Horsemonger Lane Jail.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Social \u0026amp; cultural history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Social \u0026amp; cultural history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Social%20\u0026amp;%20cultural%20history%20%5BHBTB%5D%22\"\u003eHBTB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266051625240,"sku":"9781108036986","price":53.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108036986i.jpg?v=1694879956","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-criminal-prisons-of-london-and-scenes-of-prison-life-paperback-9781108036986","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
