Organized Schools for Criminals in New York
A lengthy exposé outlines a network of about a dozen so called schools in New York that train children as criminals. Youths are drawn from rural areas, recruited by trainers, and turned into petty thieves with calculated incentives and protections, enabling a thriving, covert industry amid police corruption. The piece cites Anthony Comstock’s investigations and notes the gang’s operations, rewards for theft, and relocation of skilled pupils to Chicago when exposed.
