  Examining the development of both the East End and the CID, this book looks at how individuals and institutions adapt and integrate to accommodate the area's unique economy. It examines the mixed bag of petty thieves and serious criminals who form part of the myth and reality of the area. The book attempts to contribute to the sociology of policing, the study of class relations and the study of crime and delinquency.
