Film6.9DramSuç1929 ekonomik bunalımı; yirminci yüzyılın başından itibaren inanılmaz bir süratle kapitalistleşmeye başlayan ve adeta tepe noktasına ulaşan bir ekonominin büyük çöküşünü ifade etmektedir. Bu çöküş Amerika’nın gelişmiş serbest piyasa ekonomisine entegre olmuş tüm ülkeleri derinden etkilemiş dolaylı olarak da olsa ikinci dünya savaşına ön ayak olmuştur. Krizin yarattığı işsizlik, yoksulluk kısacası açlık muazzam boyutlara ulaşınca kanunsuz işlerde büyük bir patlama olmuştur. Özellikle kaçakçılık had sayfaya çıkmış, çıkar çatışmaları bugün gangster(yaşça büyük olanların deyimiyle gangaster) diye adlandırılan yapıyı oluşturmuştur. Haraç, kadın ticareti, alacak tahsili, kumarhane işletmeciliği gibi klasik yöntemlere ilaveten sendikacılık, içki ve silah kaçakçılığı gibi yeni yaklaşımlar ortaya çıkmış, belli bir forma bürünmüş yarı-düzenli suç şebekeleri peyda olmuştur...
