	Crime and Gangster Films
		Crime stories in this genre often highlight the life of a crime figure or a crime's victim(s).

		Often from poor immigrant families, gangster characters often fall prey to crime in the pursuit of wealth, status, and material possessions (clothes and cars), because all other "normal" avenues to the top are unavailable to them.
