This compelling book takes readers inside the often-grim world of Chicago’s morals court, where judges grappled with issues such as prostitution, gambling, and alcoholism. Through a series of fascinating case studies, the authors provide a vivid portrait of a little-known aspect of the city’s history, shedding new light on the social, cultural, and political complexities of urban life in the early 20th century.
