Policing London - Scotland Yard at Last - Extra History - #5

Teacher or professor: Extra Credits
Subject: History, Politics, Mythology
Content of the Lesson: Even if you've never studied the history of the police force, chances are good you're familiar with the Scotland Yard as a heavy feature of Sherlock Holmes stories. But how did London take the final steps from the privately funded and highly specialized Bow Street Runners to a police force salaried by the government itself? We talk about the inspirations behind the Scotland Yard and how London walked the fine line between social order and civil liberties, guided by Robert Peel.
