balsemactiv: Criminal Record Sheet, circa 1906 A page from a criminal record ledger compiled by the West Yorkshire police in 1906. The ledger contains portraits, personal details and criminal records of convicted criminals. This page is about Mary Ann Kennedy, a partially blind prostitute with a string of convictions for theft, robbery with violence and receiving stolen goods.The use of photography to record known criminals - the ‘mug shot’- had been suggested as early as the 1840s. In 1871, the Prevention of Crime Act made it a legal requirement that all persons arrested for a crime must have their photographs taken.
