1880-1920 Policemen

During my research project I have been researching Policemen of the 1880's-1920's. 
The basic things that I have Found out about Policemen in this era is that being a policemen wasn't just about "a job" but was more of a pride thing in the community. It was looked at as a good dead because more crimes started to break out during this time.  I have also learned that the "Crooks" of this time were treated with harsh punishment and sent to diseased prisons and some where sentenced to the electrical chairs. 
So far, I have come to the conclusion that I do not find this topic as interesting as I thought and now I am changing, to something else.
