Biographical/historical note:
The Chicago Crime Commission was organized in 1919 by the Chicago Association of Commerce as a privately-financed, non-partisan, non-governmental organization. Its purpose is "to promote and encourage the efficiency and activity of all officers and departments of the city, county and state administrations charged with the duty of prevention, suppression, and punishment of crime."
Virgil W. Peterson was Executive director (earlier called Operating Director) of the Chicago Crime Commission from April 1, 1942, until his retirement on Dec. 31, 1969. This collection consists of papers and clippings generated or collected by Peterson (mainly from 1940-88, i.e., during his years as Director of the Commission and in his retirement years.)
Virgil Wallace Peterson, criminologist, was born on Nov. 16, 1904 in Olds, Iowa, the son of Edward A. and Ida C. Sandall Peterson. His father operated a general store in Olds, Iowa, for 5 years. Virgin Peterson died in MacNeal Memorial Hospital, Berwyn, Illinois, on Feb. 20, 1989. He is buried in Chapel Gardens West in Elmhurst, Illinois.
Peterson graduated from Olds (Iowa) High School in 1923. He received an A.B. degree from Parsons College, Fairfield, Iowa, in June 1927. His law degree from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, was awarded in 1939. In October 1930 he was admitted to the Illinois Bar. He became a member of the Chicago and American Bar Associations and other professional organizations. In June 1946 he received an Honorary LLD from Parsons College.
From 1930-1935 Peterson served as an F.B.I. agent in New Orleans, LA, Jacksonville, FL, New York City, Philadelphia, PA, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, IL. He was Special Agent-in-Charge of F.B.I. offices in Milwaukee, WI, St. Louis, MO and Boston, MA. between 1935 and 1942
On April 1, 1942, Peterson became Operating Director (later called Executive Director) of the Chicago Crime Commission. He held this position until his retirement on Dec. 31, 1969. during his Chicago Crime commission and retirement years he resided in Riverside, IL, with his wife, Clydie Mae McQuagge Peterson, and two sons, Virgil Wallace Peterson, Jr. (who died in 1955 at age 20) and Edward Alan Peterson.
Virgil Peterson spoke and wrote widely on crime (particularly gambling) and law enforcement problems. He wrote three books: Gambling: Should It Be Legalized? (Springfield, IL, Charles C. Thomas, Publisher, 1951) Barbarians in Our Midst (Boston, MA, Atlantic Monthly Press Little Brown & Co., 1952), and The Mob: 200 Years of Organized Crime in New York (Ottawa, IL, Green Hill Publishers, 1983). His articles and book reviews on crime topics appeared in many national magazines such as Atlantic Monthly, Saturday Evening Post, Readers Digest, and Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology. He contributed essays on crime and law enforcement to the Encyclopaedia Britannica Book of the Year (1965-1974) and articles on gambling to the American Peoples encyclopedia Yearbook (1956-1962).
Peterson helped organize and in December 1969 became Honorary President of the National Association of Citizens Crime Commissions. He also helped to organize local crime commissions in many U. S. cities.
