London Labour and the London Poor: A Cyclopędia of the Condition and Earnings of Those that Will Work, Those that Cannot Work, and Those that Will Not Work, Volume 3Griffin, Bohn,, 1861 - Charities "Mayhew approached his work on London Labour and the London Poor ethnographically, venturing directly into the poorest parts of London to interview his subjects directly ... The fourth volume, which Mayhew wrote only a portion of, departed from this format to analyze the characteristics and activities of criminals in Britain and Wales. Mayhew completed a series of choropleth maps for this volume to illustrate the criminal statistics of each county. The maps, rendered in simple black and white, addressed a variety of topics including the overall intensity of criminality in each county, the intensity of 'ignorance' (illiteracy), the number of illegitimate children, rates of teenage marriage, and the number of crimes committed by women ... Mayhew's maps were among the earliest attempts to study crime using cartographic techniques."--Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science, accessed online, April 11, 2013. |
