Notes
This is quite an unusual book. There are chapters on "The Cut-Throat Razor as Murder Weapon", "Two Axe Murderers", "Another Old-Fashioned Murder Weapon - The Domestic Poker", "Prisoners in The Tower - The Shooting of Spies", "Suffer The Little Children - Two Cases of Child Murder", "The Traitor and The Spy - Two Hangings in London", "A Classic Murder Case - George "Brides in The Bath" Smith", " Powder and Shot - Guns - Rare British Murder Weapons", "Beating to Death - The Most Ancient Type of Murder", and "Moving Towards The Modern World - Knife Crime During The First World War". So basically, it is about how miscreants, whether or not within the war's scope, were responsible for their crimes and how they were dealt with.
