Protective Collar Against Garrotting: A Historical Solution to a Deadly Threat This vintage photograph from the late 1800s depicts a protective collar or stock, a preventive measure against the heinous crime of garrotting. Garrotting was a common method of assassination during the Victorian era, involving the use of a rope or wire to choke and strangulate a victim from behind. The metropolitan police force took measures to combat this crime by issuing protective collars to their officers and the public. The collar, patented in the late 1800s, was made of metal and featured sharp spikes that were designed to deter potential garrotters. The collar was worn around the neck and secured with a buckle, making it easy to put on and take off. The spikes were long enough to inflict pain and injury to anyone attempting to garrote the wearer from behind. The use of protective collars was a significant development in the history of law enforcement and crime prevention. The collar not only provided a physical barrier against garrotting but also served as a deterrent to potential criminals. The collar's presence was a clear indication that the wearer was a person of authority and was not an easy target. The protective collar was an essential part of the police uniform for many years, and its use continued well into the 20th century. Although garrotting was a rare occurrence in the modern world, the collar remained a symbol of protection and a reminder of the dangers that once existed on the streets. This photograph is a testament to the innovative solutions that emerged in response to the criminal activities of the past. It serves as a reminder of the importance of staying vigilant and taking measures to protect oneself and others from harm.
