Police Station

This is the police station where the characters in Oliver Twist were taken when they were arrested. Crime is very prevalent in Oliver Twist and seems to take over the lives of Fagin and Bill Sikes. Fagin commits crimes himself, but he preferably employs others to commit them. He is an example of how Dickens used anti-Semitic stereotypes. Bill Sikes's most famous crime in Oliver Twist is when he murders Nancy. Every day Fagin, Bill, and the other criminals constantly are on the move to add another pick-pocketer to their clan or they are on their way to commit a crime. A lot of the crimes committed in Oliver Twist happen because people are drawn into or forced into the crime and cannot seem to get out. Fagin's gang of rounding up pick-pocketers is an example of this.
