Book excerpt: Excerpt from The City of Chicago: A Study of the Great Immoralities The criminal is a savage, nothing more nor less. Civilization builds up painfully our definite, orderly rules of life, work, marriage, the constant restraint of the gross and violent impulses of appetite. The crim inal simply discards these laws and slides back again along the way we came up in to license, idleness, thieving, and violence. He merely lapses back into savagery. To understand the matter of crime in great cities, the first step is to measure the posi tive forces working continually to produce savagery there. These forces are to-day, as they always have been, greater than can easily be imagined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
