In London skilled tradesmen who were feeling a lack of respect of the working poor created a list of demands that would make up the People's Charter.

Crime and poverty were strong bedfellows in Wales in the mid century of the 1800s. Increasing demands for housing combined with boom and bust economies create circumstances where criminal activity was an accepted survival method as slums and squaller grew in small congested urban areas in the valleys of Wales.
