| |  |
Drunken yobs on the streets, the open selling of drugs and mob violence, all rolled into moral panic about "the youth of today". Sound familiar? Well it would have done to the Victorians. Gilda O' Neill's new book is about the underworld of Victorian London, and she joins Jenni to talk of opium dens, hair theft and murder most foul.
'The Good Old Days: Crime, Murder and Mayhem in Victorian London' by Gilda O'Neill is published by Viking ISBN-13: 978-0-670-91545-3.
