im doing the same thing and i found out that it was mainly stealing & prostitution
See the Links below
prostitution was rife, as the Victorians were extremely prudish, and even the word 'leg' was seen as rude.

Jack the ripper came from Victorian times also.
Go on any one of the links given. They will help!
