The most likely cause of an increase in the crime rate from 1920 to 1933 was the introduction of prohibition. Prohibition banned the production and sale of alcoholic beverages. This ban afforded the chance to make alot of money by producing and selling illegal alcohol. Prohibition also saw the huge increase in organized crime.
