Name two drugs used in crime in this passage. the hooligans by leonard raven-hill. leaving aside drunkenness, theft was rampant. while children might pickpocket and steal from barrows on the streets, women might engage in shoplifting, and, as for london's sly con men, cheats, "magsmen" or "sharpers," they were notorious. so were the housebreakers working in teams, and slipping into homes and shops and warehouses. mugging, with its associated violence, was rife. a hanky dipped in chloroform might be used to subdue someone before robbing him, or a man's hat might be tipped over his face to facilitate the crime (this was called "bonneting"). another ruse was to lure men down to the riverside by using prostitutes as decoys. the dupes would then be beaten up and robbed out of sight of passers-by. violence could, of course, easily extend to murder. prostitutes themselves ran huge risks. no one knows how many of them were strangled or stabbed or butchered (jack the ripper was far from the only villain, and dickens's nancy must be mourned for many a pitiful "lost woman"). no respectable woman would have ventured forth after dark at all, if she had any choice in the matter. even if a policeman appeared on the crime scene, he might be driven off by having nitric acid thrown in his face. the were at special risk. well-turned-out children might be waylaid, dragged down an alley, and stripped of their finery, or pet dogs kidnapped for ransom or simply filched for their skins.
