In December, there were the notorious Ratcliff Highway murders - two vicious attacks within 12 days of each other that resulted in a number of deaths. These shocked residents of London's East End, as well as the rest of the nation on account of the fact that the murders took place within the victims' own homes.
Under the headline of "Horrid Murders!!!" one newspaper states that alarm spread after it was reported that the perpetrators of the first murders were "foreigners". The crimes put law and order very much at the forefront of many people's concerns.
I didn't realise the Daily Mail was around then.
