The roaring twenties was a total disregard of law and order.With gangster running the streets it was time for speakeasies. In the 1920 not only gangsters and mobsters broke the laws the common American had total disregard of the laws. Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, people wanted to have a law for prohibition. After many decades an organization took there time and looked at crime rates because alcohol. Prohibition was suppose to get ride of the crime rate but instead it brought gangster and gangs to the streets that did more killing then the alcohol.

The dream of bringing down the alcoholism and crime rate by the temperance movement failed to materialized. People became weary about the prohibition laws and they started joining groups that were Anti-Prohibition movement. Prohibition made crime rates and murder worse because people wear killing for it.
