Solution
London is an industrialist city with massive population
Of these population, most of them are migrants who came to London for a living
Majority of workforce are in dockyards, clothing, footwear, metals and engineering, wood, furniture etc
On one side, industries and labour force grew and on the other side, criminal activities spread
Petty thefts, pick pocketing etc, were in vogue
To control and in order to maintain law and order, social activists, police force implemented severe action through public meetings, posters, etc, and thus began to keep a watch on the criminals
With these steps, crimes were controlled to some extent in London
