Between 1875 and 1920, Chicago’s homicide rate more than quadrupled. Based on an analysis of nearly six thousand homicide cases, this book examines the ways in which industrialization, immigration, poverty, ethnic and racial conflict, and powerful cultural forces reshaped Chicago city life and generated soaring levels of lethal violence.
