As a work of criminology that draws on both historical methods and contemporary social network analysis, Syndicate Women centers the women who have been erased from analyses of gender and crime and breathes new life into our understanding of the gender gap. The book places organized crime within a gender-based theoretical framework while assessing patterns of relationships that have implications for non-criminal and more general societal issues around gender. These processes began with, and reproduced, gender inequality. During the Prohibition era, the markets for organized crime became less territorial and less specialized, and criminal organizations were restructured to require relationships with crime bosses. Smith uncovers a unique historical puzzle: women composed a substantial part of Chicago organized crime in the early 1900s, but during Prohibition (1920–1933), when criminal opportunities increased and crime was most profitable, women were largely excluded. Good Street Scenes with Bigger than Big Cars and Chicago Locations also Help Worth a Watch.In Syndicate Women, sociologist Chris M. But Dennis O' Keefe seems Worn-Out and Past His Prime. Slightly Above Average because of Lane, Hayes, and Stewart. But the Film Struggles to have an Edge and Succumbs to Sedentary Situations Concerning Book-Keeping and other Mundane Aspects, like Paul Stewart and His Ma. Of Minor Interest is Bandleader Xavier Cugat in a Speaking Part.
Some Scenes Stand Out, like the Climax Chase, and Abbe Lane Taking a Beating. Both Broads are in Fine Form with Clinging Dresses and Firecracker Personalities.
The Odd Thing in this one is that Female Firebrands Abbe Lane and Allison Hayes are at the Core of Anything that Makes it Special. Noir's Grit was Increasingly Being Scrubbed by the Booming Decade's Affluence. Film-Noir had All but Given Up the Ghost with the Eisenhower Era Emphasis on Big-Brother Watchdog Law Enforcement Forever "Looking Out For You". A Good Production and a Decent Cast Can't Raise this Functionary, Pedestrian Picture from the Prolific 1950's Police Procedurals.
