Description | Cartoon shows large rocks (labeled "Law") pouring from a down spout and knocking down a man labeled "Citizen." A bystander, labeled "Crime," grins and fires off his pistol. Crime rates rose, particularly in urban areas, during the 1920s and 1930s, driven in part by Prohibition. Kirby argues that the plethora of laws passed to rectify the situation cannot be enforced and exacerbate the situation. |
