DID THE CRIME RATE RISE WHEN PROHIBITION ENDED?

In response to "Let's win the war on drugs" (June 16):Those who 
forget the lessons and mistakes made in the past are doomed to repeat 
them. I would suggest that John Emerson review the history of the 
first war on an illegal substance. Does he really think there was 
more crime after Prohibition was repealed? This is just ridiculous.
