Abstract
Walter C. Reckless's Vice in Chicago (1933) examined the consequences of the closing of Chicago brothels in 1913 and the transformation of prostitution from an encapsulated enterprise into a more laissez-faire pursuit. The contents of the monograph, one of the array of pathbreaking urban studies that marked Chicago School research under Robert E. Park, are reviewed both in terms of what they tell us about prostitution then and what significance they hold in regard to the behavior today.
