Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between the police force and criminal activity in Chicago at the turn of the 20th century. The author meticulously documents the influence of criminal elements on the political landscape, resulting in widespread corruption and the erosion of public trust. The text exposes the system of protection money levied on illicit businesses and the subsequent diversion of funds intended for the betterment of the city. The author also highlights the role of all night saloons as breeding grounds for crime and debauchery. Through vivid descriptions of these establishments, the book paints a stark picture of the moral decay that plagued Chicago during this era. By examining the intersection of politics, law enforcement and vice, this book provides a chilling glimpse into the underbelly of a major American city and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked corruption.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Behind the prosperity and astonishing growth of one of America's greatest cities, L. O. Curon saw another Chicago-a city where crime, vice, political influence, and official corruption flourished beneath the surface.Chicago, Satan's Sanctum is a fierce examination of the darker side of urban life, turning its attention to the relationships between criminals, saloons, gambling houses, corrupt politicians, compromised police officers, and the institutions charged with enforcing the law. Curon portrays a municipal government in which bribery and political influence allow vice to prosper, while reform efforts struggle against entrenched interests and public indifference.Moving through allegations of police corruption, political manipulation, blackmail, illegal drinking establishments, gambling, prostitution, criminal organizations, and failures of civic administration, Curon presents a deeply critical portrait of Chicago at the end of the nineteenth century. Part social exposé and part impassioned demand for municipal reform, Chicago, Satan's Sanctum preserves a striking contemporary account of the anxieties surrounding crime, corruption, morality, and political power in a rapidly expanding American metropolis.…
