| Summary | "Traffic in Souls: A Novel of Crime and Its Cure" by Eustace Hale Ball is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work explores the dark underbelly of society concerning crime and the trafficking of individuals, particularly women. The narrative follows Officer Bobbie Burke as he navigates the harsh realities of urban crime, particularly the interactions between law enforcement and the individuals ensnared in the vice of the white slave trade. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Officer 4434 (later revealed as Bobbie Burke) on a frigid night in New York City, where he witnesses an altercation between a man and a woman that quickly escalates into violence. Responding to the incident, Burke intervenes, but faces aggression from both the woman, Dutch Annie, and the man, Jimmie the Monk. The opening depicts the struggles of law enforcement amid the city's rampant criminal activity, painting a stark picture of the social issues at play. As Burke reflects on the failures of the legal system to protect vulnerable women and children, the reader begins to understand the complexities and moral dilemmas faced by police officers in combating organized crime and societal corruption.
