Pimping a Resource.

I know, you want to hear me bitch and moan, but I have to push this resource:

www.homicide.northwestern.edu

A database about homicides in early Chicago. Great fun for those interested in crime, history, midwestern life...

Some cool info in the database: Allegations of police corruption = Yes (Dirty bastards!), Occupational Skill = criminal-burglar (Ha!), Related to Prohibition = Yes (Sure, blame it on the liquor!).

I suggest you search by month and year alone if you're just trying it out.
