	"Big Brother is Watching You"
		Prohibition was the worst of times for police: corruption flared, fueled by vast amounts of bootlegging profits; public confidence declined; and the profession came to be symbolized by Hollywood's Keystone Kops, who portrayed police as inept and venal.
		Vollmer and his colleagues were concerned about the broad social issues of policing.
		Special juvenile bureaus should be created to handle problems of children and families; police should take a more active role in casework for social agencies; police should exploit their intimate knowledge of the community and place themselves at the hub of community activities with youth and families.
