Harlem in Disorder: A Spatial History of How Racial Violence Changed in 1935

Windows broken without arrest (52)

No one was identified as being arrested for breaking 75% (52 of 69) of the businesses identified in the sources (as no one was arrested for the first broken window in Kress' store, the store appears among those cases in which no arrests were made even though an arrest was made for allegedly breaking a window after another attack over four hours later). There are five individuals arrested for breaking windows for who there is no information about their alleged targets; some of those four men and one woman may have been charged with breaking windows in stores for which there was no reported arrests. So could the twenty-one men charged with disorderly conduct in the Magistrates Court for which there is no information about their alleged actions, although only just over one in four of those accused of breaking windows were charged with that offense.

(Fewer arrests than for reported looting + most without arrests on and around 125th Street)
