Boardwalk Empire

I'm not sure how many of you have HBO at home or access to it but they have come out with yet another great series. Boardwalk Empire is set in 1920 right at the institution of the prohibition of alcoholic beverages in the United States. The show takes place in Atlantic City, NJ where the county treasurer uses prohibition to make money on the distribution and sale of alcohol. The attention to historical detail is pretty well done and makes the show worthy of view by its self. The issue of organized crime and extortion of the public is an issue that is relevant to the Justice Studies major and especially for the track A majors.
