Every time someone wants a return to the good old days when girls were meek and gentle, remember that people have always said that. It's like how the Ancient Greeks were lamenting their fallen, modern times.

Don't the police have a height requirement?
Some of you might have already seen Alesha (mouse) but you guys are yet to see NIGHTMARE
she's a menace (in the most uncomplimentary way possible)

Ah yes, "The Illustrated Police News", Daily Mail / Express * (or possibly Sunday Sport / National Enquirer) of its day
* Mail & Express are famous notorious for, when at a loose end, publishing Madeline McCann / Lady Diana stories despite their increasing lack of currency.
In much the same way, IPN published nearly 200 Jack the Ripper front-page stories in the four years after those murders ended. Illustrated stories, of course. Also like them, IPN featured many anti-immigrant "here to take your jobs" stories.
IPN got good mileage from murder (mostly horrible, sometimes ghastly, occasionally just shocking), violent or scandalous goings-on (with illustrations to show how violently scandalous) and things to be outraged at (with illustrations to assist in being outraged...)
It was also partial to the adjective “fair”...

...and I was quite surprised that this one missed out on "fair somnambulist".

The captions didn't miss out on much else.

Has there ever been a compilation of The Best / Worst Of Illustrated Police News?
I'd buy it for the chuckle factor. ;-P

Looks like they each brought a nun to a gunfight. And a gun to a nunfight. That's for saying my habit game is weak, Sister Frederick Maria!
The Illustrated Police News was one of those publications that should have gone on forever.

The Illustrated London News put it this way:
The savages committed certain outrages, on which the native police, under a white officer, allied forth and made so tremendous an example in the way of shooting, that though "everybody in the colony is delighted," we at home should be rather glad to be sure (which the story sis not quite make us) that the vengeance fell not only heavily but in the right place.
"Killing for Country: A Family History" - David Marr
