I'm currently in planning for my big bang story and I have a couple of questions I need answers to, but don't know how to find these answers. I'm hoping the wonderful people here can help me. Even just a place to start looking would be appreciated. My google-fu is not so fabulous.

1. If Doyle's family background was on the 'shady' side (no one's ever been arrested, but a lot of their business has been somewhat questionable - just petty stuff, though) would he have been allowed to join the police? Doyle himself was never involved in any quasi-wrongdoing.

2. Does anyone know where the wealthy area of Liverpool is? I've been trying to find information on Liverpool but it's mostly just general stuff.

My Dad's an ex Met Copper (served from 1966 to 1990) and I've just asked him question one. He says each force would have their own guidelines they would follow on recruitment. Back in Pros days he says if you yourself had a conviction, it would indeed go against you quite strongly. But if your family were dodgy while you were clean, then although it would be a point againt you they would take you on your own merits. Although if they did take you on, they would post you away from your family so you weren't ever put in the position of arresting your own kin. He did say, however, that if the Kray twins had a brother who had never done a thing wrong in his life and desperately wanted to be a police officer - he wouldn't get the job! I hope this helps?

Google them babe, you'd be stunned! They virtually ran the East End of London during the 60s and 70s.
