Crimes

There was very little to no law enforcement in the 1800's which caused murder and crimes to become higher. New York gained a reputation for criminal violence and overcrowding and lots of homeless kids roamed the streets of New York, many of them became street robbers. More murders happened in London rather than New York. In Philadelphia bands of robbers stripped wealthy people for there cash.

War, few cities in America had anything like a police department to keep

order. Boston had a night watch, but it was

mainly a fire lookout. Watchmen were afraid to

enter many neighborhoods at all.
