About this book

The criminologist Barry Latzer's book "The Roots of Violent Crime in America" provides a thorough examination of violent crimes, such as murder, assault, that occurred in the US between the 1880s and the 1930s. By fusing historical expertise, criminological perspectives, and fresh research, Latzer challenges preconceived notions about violent crime in this century. Contrary to popular belief, violent crime rates in American cities were lower than in rural areas. Latzer examines violent subcultures and cultural predispositions, highlighting the lack of a substantial correlation between crime rates and racism or Prohibition.
