Urban areas in the late 20th century had grown to have high crime risks. Murder rates rose to a higher amount than in the past, robbery and theft had taken place more than ever before, and prostitution increased. The prohibition movement had occurred and organized crime took place. There had been manufacturing, importing and selling of illegal alcohol. The money was put towards prostitution, gambling, narcotics and some businesses. Drugs had increased since the 1970s in lots of cities. There have been higher employment rates which led to a decrease in the crimes.
