| Zusammenfassung: | "A riveting true-crime history of London's first modern police force as told through its most notorious murder cases. The idea of "Scotland Yard" is steeped in atmospheric stories of foggy London streets, murder by lamplight, and fiendish killers pursued by gentleman detectives. From its establishment in 1829 through the eve of World War II, Scotland Yard--the world's first modern, professional, and centrally organized police force--set new standards for policing and investigating. Scotland Yard advanced ground-breaking use of forensics--from fingerprints to ballistics to evidence collection--made the first attempt at criminal profiling, and captivated the public on both sides of the Atlantic with feats of detective work that rivaled any fictional interpretation. Based on official case files, contemporary newspaper reporting, trial transcripts, and the first-hand accounts of the detectives on the beat, Scotland Yard tells the tales of some of history's most notorious murders--with cases that proved to be landmarks in the field of criminal inquiry"--Dust jacket flap |

The idea of "Scotland Yard" is steeped in atmospheric stories of foggy London streets, murder by lamplight, and fiendish killers pursued by gentleman detectives. From its establishment in 1829 through the eve of World War II, Scotland Yard--the world's first modern, professional, and centrally organized police force--set new standards for policing and investigating. Scotland Yard advanced ground-breaking use of forensics--from fingerprints to ballistics to evidence collection--made the first attempt at criminal profiling, and captivated the public on both sides of the Atlantic with feats of detective work that rivaled any fictional interpretation. Based on official case files, contemporary newspaper reporting, trial transcripts, and the first-hand accounts of the detectives on the beat, Scotland Yard tells the tales of some of history's most notorious murders--with cases that proved to be landmarks in the field of criminal inquiry"--Dust jacket flap London Metropolitan Police Service (DE-588)505912-4 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1753-1939 gnd rswk-swf Polizei (DE-588)4046595-0 gnd rswk-swf Kriminalistik (DE-588)4033177-5 gnd rswk-swf Mord (DE-588)4040235-6 gnd rswk-swf Aufklärung Kriminologie (DE-588)4236561-2 gnd rswk-swf London (DE-588)4074335-4 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf Great Britain / Metropolitan Police Office / History Great Britain / Metropolitan Police Office / Criminal Investigation Department / History Police / England / London / History Murder / England / London / History Murder / England / London / Case studies Criminal investigation / England / London / History Criminal investigation / England / London / Case studies Crime / England / London / History Crime / England / London / Case studies Murder / Great Britain / History Murder / Great Britain / Case studies Criminal investigation / Great Britain Meurtre / Grande-Bretagne / Histoire Meurtre / Grande-Bretagne / Études de cas Enquêtes criminelles / Grande-Bretagne Meurtre / Angleterre / Londres / Histoire Meurtre / Angleterre / Londres / Études de cas Enquêtes criminelles / Angleterre / Londres / Histoire Enquêtes criminelles / Angleterre / Londres / Études de cas True crime stories Récits criminels London (DE-588)4074335-4 g London Metropolitan Police Service (DE-588)505912-4 b Aufklärung Kriminologie (DE-588)4236561-2 s Mord (DE-588)4040235-6 s Geschichte 1753-1939 z DE-604 Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Kriminalistik (DE-588)4033177-5 s Polizei (DE-588)4046595-0 s |
