Read the article about London police, The History of the London Police Total (5) In 1700 London had no policemen at all. A few men protected the city streets at night. Many people were poor and there were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible. In 1750, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called ‘Bow Street Runners’ because they worked near Bow Street. Fifty years later, there were 120 Bow Street Runners, but London had become very big and needed more policemen. In 1829, the first London Police Force was started with 3000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Today, London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others. Answer the questions. 1. Why did people stay in their homes as much as possible? 2. How did «Bow Street Runners» get their name
1. The streets of London at night in 1700 were protected by a group of men called «Charlies,» who were established to maintain order and prevent crime.
2. 300 years ago, London was a bustling and growing city, but it faced challenges such as overcrowding, poor sanitation, and a high crime rate. The city was a mix of wealth and poverty, with distinct social classes and a lack of organized law enforcement.
3. Londoners stayed in their homes as much as possible due to the high crime rates and the lack of effective law enforcement. With no organized police force, people felt unsafe venturing out at night, leading to a culture of staying indoors after dark.
4. Henry Fielding began to pay a group of people in 1750 to act as a precursor to a formal police force, as a means of addressing the rampant crime and disorder in London.
5. In 1829, the Metropolitan Police Force was established with 3,200 officers under the leadership of Sir Robert Peel.
6. Policemen who worked with horses were paid better than those who worked on foot due to the specialized skills and responsibilities required for handling and maintaining horses, such as patrolling on horseback and managing the care and use of the animals.
