The author makes some useful points which fits with my own
knowledge for example how much money gangsters earned this generally
made the public think of them as a high regard to society and very
respectable, I know this as Capone was a renowned respectable man
known for his fame and fortune which usual caused envy and sometimes
admiration throughout the communities. The text also includes what they
spent their moneyon, such as bribing members of congress and judges. It
looked bad to the public but positively towards those who were receiving
the money with the raised profile of gangsters. It also mentions the
violence which gangsters were usual well-known for at this time such as
the 1929 St. Valentine’s Day Massacre which Capone was involved in.
Overall, having looked at the content and provenance of all three sources,
I think that the most useful source is Neil De Marcos extract because it
actually focusing on gangsters at the period compared to the other two
which centre on film making and stars in gangster films of the time. The
actual content of the extract is a lot more even-handed and unbiased,
creating a more reliable and useful source.
