It was never "illegal" to cross dress I don't think, but one could be arrested if cross dressing under sodomy and solicitation laws since those macho macho men of the MET could see no good reason why someone would dress as a woman.
Crime over the generations.

My reply to you bothered memaybe because a little bit of me understands where you are coming from. I just felt you were admonishing the wrong people
Forgive me
I forgive you. It's not the police fault, it's Home office police advisory board fault.

There more crime no than before just less reporting.
Less reporting? Would that have anything to do with their being less crime taking place?

This is also interesting explanation from US.
Number of homicides is down, not because less people get shot, but because doctors and first aid crews are better at keeping them alive despite getting shot.
Now you could arguably check stats and see if serious violent crimes in general or attempts of murder are on the rise etc.
But who knows, article I link is from WSJ, which is quite republican and defends gun ownership (i guess, i'm not so familiar with US newspapers).

Lol stop picking on easy targets
you know darn well there isn't less reporting. He made an error whilst typing.
Cameras and media obviously pick up a lot of crime nowadays. There are also more crimes on the statute to fall foul of.
As a mad biker of the seventies, I used to break the law on occasion and often avoid being caught, but I think that humanity has not changed much in forty years to warrant much change in the actuality of criminal behaviour.

Can we not let this thread descend into spam please.
In reality, it was mostly **** but the people were just younger at the time so they cared less.

Before you go due to the "spam" burnsey. Who is this spie? Is that the owner?
Old owner, he sold the company to the Germans for a shed load of money and is enjoying his retirement in Switzerland.
Not that he needed to as the company made him millions every year anyway

Theres no more crime these days, there's less, but the few 'worst case' examples we have get plastered over the myriad media channels pretty much the moment they happen.
Take islamic extremism, 50 years ago you'd have the same fears and prejudices but it wouldn't be muslims we blamed, it'd be the ira.
Take the recent attacks in paris, it's within living memory that paris suffered a lot worse from a nation we'd be pleased to call advanced and civilised these days.
We've had an immigration crisis ever since we stopped invading everywhere.
Etc etc, the world been going to hell for thousands of years every generation fighting the same battles and making the same mistakes, the only thing thats changed is the flags involved, the weapons used, and the way of finding out.

Less reporting does not mean less crime.
Violent crime in London soars by 22 per cent
