Central Park (History III)
Although often regarded as a kind of oasis of tranquility inside a "city that never sleeps," Central Park has had a reputation over the years as a dangerous place, especially after dark. This reputation probably began in the 1930s, when large encampments of homeless people known as "Hoovervilles" sprouted up in the park. Well-publicized incidents of violence and rape, such as the infamous "Central Park Jogger" case, have contributed to this perception. |
