U.S. cities where prohibited areas in the 1970s and 1980s. High levels of crime and deprivation which reflected in many films of the era - Deathwish, etc. .. Meanstreets

It was a massive change in the 1950s and 1960s, the period during which we, the citizens are prosperous middle class and rising wages with few immigrants. (Most movies are so comedies or movies where the suspense like The Odd Couple, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Hitchcock's Rear Window or North by Northwest, etc.).

What causes this change?
Was it the 1965 law on immigration?
(* The 1965 Hart-Cellar Immigration Act - a bill sponsored by Senator Ted Kennedy who created the mass immigration of mixture) http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Rea ...

Take a city - New York - Did mass immigration and lower skilled displaced citizens that we are in arigiculture, who later migrated to American cities like New York, to be unemployed due to mass immigrantion? After 1965, in the 1970s and 1980s, the city was a slut.

So you get more of your history from Hollywood movies? hehe

The largest increase in immigration has been over the last 10 years, most illegal and Mexico. There are lots of demographic data show that crime in this influx. Of course, you have to do research rather than just watching movies.
Why do you think we want to secure our borders?

Mass immigration did not occur until the 1990s. From about 1960 through the early 80s, there were fewer than 100,000 immigrants per year.

In the 90s, immigration has skyrocketed to a peak of one million per year and has continued as well.

Not really - you stretch your point a bit there. I think the recession at the national economy, inflation and high oil prices have more impact than the immigration during this period. Most people left the cities at that time, do not go to them. There was also money to controversy and morale draining foreign war under the divided society and caused disturbances.

The 50 were also the product of a booming post-war and really should not be used as the median when measuring economic times. The "ideal" of the 1950s are more an aberration than a norm. I notice that you stopped "Psycho" (1960). The Kitty Genovese murder also happened in the 1960s. The murders were the basis for "In Cold Blood" took place in the 50s. "West Side Story" was released in the 60s. "Guys and Dolls" was released in the 50s. All these films are crime / murder.

There are alternative theories where the number of abused and unwanted children raised in broken homes (as they arose before ROE vs. Wade abortion rights ruling) had a big effect on crime rates in time, and after Roe, is reflected in the crime rate relatively low now. Essentially the future deletion underpriveledged / criminal

In addition, most American movies do not really reflect American lives precisely because there were standards and codes that have been confirmed, regardless of realism. How many more movie couples sleeping in twin beds? Things have changed to adapt to what the public wanted to see. For example, in the book "Breakfast at Tiffany's" the female lead is a class prostitute. And "Rear Window" is about a murder (committed by a non-immigrant), so I do not get your point there at all.

Recent studies have indicated that immigrant neighborhoods tend to have lower crime rates than the non-immigrant neighborhoods.
