GOOD question!
Answer - you decide!
Your end date, of course, is 1900.
Choose your own start date, depending on what you want to say.
Just make sur you start your essay by defining what dates you are going to take - your form of words can go: "... in the late 19th entury, which I take to mean the period 18?? to 1900."
If you're a bit short of info you can push it back to 1851.
If you've got lots to write about, you can cut it down by starting as late as 1890!
I would suggest 1875 or 1880 would be a sensible date.

No - it was much worse.
Read this famous contemporary account:

and see this famous picture of Whitechapel:
Fr info on the Ripper, chase the links from http://www.greenfield.durham.sch.uk/H_HWK/...er%20Links.html, though some of them are dead now.

There is no way that 1828 can be described as 'late' 19th century.
If you are going to start at that date,define your dates as 1875-1900, but start with a paragaroh which starts: 'Of course, it is impossible to describe law and order in 1875-1900 without knowing what went on before that...' But make it VERY brief.
Starting at 1828, with a title such as you have, is to be irrelevant, and it could actually LOSE you marks.

Hi
All 'law and order' is the ways that they tried to keep the peace in London in the late 19th century the police force, the courts etc.
There is a really good thread already on this on the forum, whuch you would do well to read - although you will find that all the links are dead.
This is a good link to the learning curve.
And this Metropolitan Police site looks really helpful too
