Crime Wave: 18 Months of Mayhem (DVD) |
HV6783 .C88 2008 |

As some of the country’s most notorious criminals, they were responsible for an historic crime spree that included hundreds of bank robberies, kidnappings, and murders. Though the havoc they wreaked across America lasted just 18 months, it resulted in the rise of the FBI and the nation’s first “war on crime.” Meet the outlaws who defined this golden age of crime, from John Dillinger and Machine Gun Kelly to Ma Barker, Bonnie and Clyde, and Pretty Boy Floyd, as HISTORY™ details the crime wave of 1933-34. At the height of the Great Depression, police jurisdictions ended at state lines, the FBI barely existed, and many of the thirteen million Americans out of work blamed their troubles on the banks, setting up an opportune time for criminals to rob, steal, and kill. And with technological advances like the Tommy Gun, electric-start V-8 engines, and bulletproof vests, the robbers often had the advantage over the cops. |

American Dream, American Nightmare (DVD) |
KF4836 .A44 2000x |
|
The United States is a nation built by immigrants. Yet the plight of those seeking a new life in America today is deplorable. It is the largest, fastest growing and, arguably, the most powerful uniformed police force in the United States. Under the Clinton Administration, the Immigration and Naturalization service grew exponentially, even as most other agencies faced severe cuts. But with this rapid growth has come a disturbing number of stories of abuse and excess, and the agency has received precious little scrutiny — until now. Join Bill Kurtis and the INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS™ team for a shocking look inside an agency that is out of control. This eye-opening exposé presents dramatic examples of immigrants, including legal permanent residents, who have suffered mistreatment and bureaucratic ineptitude at the hands of the INS. Chilling accounts from those whose lives have been turned upside down highlights the scope of INS abuses, while legal experts detail the undue pressures put on the agency by shortsighted, poorly drafted legislation. Most critically, the documentary spotlights how the INS has indefinitely imprisoned detainees, jailed others for petty crimes, and subjected immigrants to worse treatment than they suffered in their native lands. While philosophically we welcome them — the tired, poor, huddled masses — with open arms, the reality is much less hospitable. |

But in fact, this is not always the case. And far more troubling is mounting evidence that security lapses are going unreported and even being covered up by officials. |
