Working with the full support of Scotland Yard,the authors present the first history of the C.I.D. to appear for half a century.Paul Begg and Keith Skinner have discovered documents,memoirs and photographs never published before,some not even known to have existed.They give a full picture of the development of the detective and,uniquely,set it against a changing social scene. 'The Scotland Yard Files' scans the fascinating history of the C.I.D. from the first Great Train Robbery in 1885 to Jack the Ripper;Crippen to the Kray Twins; the Siege of Sidney Street to the Iranian Embassy Siege.It also chronicles the scandals which have periodically rocked the force,from the Great Scotland Yard Scandal,out of which the C.I.D. was born,to the Porn Enquiry. What emerges is a story which shows that crime essentially hasn't changed - people have - and that the C.I.D.'s most difficult job is to adapt to changing social standards.Through this survey of 150 years, 'The Scotland Yard Files' looks at the type of police force we have now and that we may get in the future.
