In the early 20’s the FBI was not a big role model for crime investigators. But later on, the Bureau got the help of J. Edgar Hoover, who joined and rose his ranks fast, to then become the Assistant Director of the Bureau in 1921. Three years after that, he became the Director. His idea was to fix and make the FBI much more professional. He accomplished this after firing bad workers and hiring new people. The Bureau created the Identification Division which helped investigators find the identities to criminals using finger prints. In 1931, Al Capone was locked up thanks to the Bureau.

In shorthand, no, it was extremely unhelpful. It was designed to try and prevent/ cut back on domestic abuse and home violence, but organized crime, disrespect for the law, and so much violence emerged instead. History repeats itself is a common phrase we might hear, so how does this apply now? Here’s how: in 1920, people believed a law should not control a personal choice, similar to roe v wade today. Prohibition didn’t stop the consumption of alcohol, it stopped the consumption of safe alcohol. Like roe v wade being overturned, abortions were not stopped, instead, safe abortions were stopped.

The main idea for prohibition was that it seen as the course for major abuses. For example, The Women’s Christian Temperance Union fought for the Prohibition due to domestic abuse becoming increasingly common within American households. Generally speaking however, most people were against prohibition because they felt there shouldn’t be a law against something an individual can choose for themselves.
