Unfortunately though I am struggling to discover what institutions are responsible for the production of crime films. Even though there is this obstacle I have found though that there is a controversial aspect to the types of Crime film because they worry that the violence in the films encourages more violence or that there are representational issues as the crime films are mainly targeted at a male audience and so they portray a very patriarchal view of society and male dominance.

Research so far
What I have learnt from my research into the crime genre so far is that it is a much talked about issue with a lot of different people either comparing it's type of opening sequence or people debating whether or not the idea of a crime genre is realistic or whether most crime films are hybrids.

I think what you need to do is focus in. Crime is such a massive genre- what kind of crime are you going to focus in on? Heist (e.g. Ocean's 11)? Mafia/ Organised crime (e.g. The Departed)? Villains as heroes (e.g. Reservoir Dogs/ Pulp Fiction)? Hero cops? Hard boiled detectives? You need to choose a particular sub-genre and look at some actual films in order to lock down institutions and other aspects.
