Other topics considered include prevailing racial stereotyping during the period, the city's high rate of crime, printed accounts of violence appearing in newspapers, and the use of contemporary psychological theories to explain historical actions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Interdisciplinary History is the property of MIT Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
