The Historical Atlas of American Crime Paperback
by Fred Rosen
Part of the Historical Atlas Series series
Paperback
Description
This historical atlas presents a geographic overview of the development of crime in America dating back to colonial times.
Covering all varieties of crime, from murder to fraud, from organized crime to terrorism, these pages contain a survey of significant criminal developments in United States history.
Emphasizing cases that were the first of their kind, new types of crime, crimes peculiar to certain regions, and those too infamous to be ignored, it demonstrates how geography, shifting populations, Western expansion, and technology shaped crime and the development of American society. Organized in discrete historical periods, the entries are informative and objective.
The text is illustrated with photographs, including shots of crime scenes and reproductions of artwork, and maps.
