Suspicious deaths - murders in the family and by strangers, infanticides and deaths from illegal abortions - reveal moments of personal and communal crisis in the social fabric of the city. By setting the institutional ordering of the city against the hidden intimate spaces where crimes occurred and were discovered, the book presents a new popular history of the city.MurderHistory20th centuryLondonEnglandMurderHistoryInvestigation20th centuryLondonEnglandSocioeconomic FactorsSocial Control, FormalEnvironmentSocial ProblemsCrimeSociologyHistory, Modern 1601-Social SciencesHistoryEnvironment and Public HealthCriminologyEcological and Environmental PhenomenaPopulation CharacteristicsBiological PhenomenaHealth CareHumanitiesSocial ChangeHistory, 20th CenturyCitiesHomicideLaw EnforcementSocial Welfare & Social WorkHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCCriminology, Penology & Juvenile DelinquencyHILCCGeographic LocationsHistory.fastMurderHistoryMurderHistoryInvestigationSocioeconomic FactorsSocial Control, FormalEnvironmentSocial ProblemsCrimeSociologyHistory, Modern 1601-Social SciencesHistoryEnvironment and Public HealthCriminologyEcological and Environmental PhenomenaPopulation CharacteristicsBiological PhenomenaHealth CareHumanitiesSocial ChangeHistory, 20th CenturyCitiesHomicideLaw EnforcementSocial Welfare & Social WorkSocial SciencesCriminology, Penology & Juvenile Delinquency364.15230942120904Bell Amy Helen1705532PQKBBOOK9910819464403321Murder capital : suspicious deaths in London, 1933-534092275UNINA
