...Hollywood gave them one: the architect played by Charles Bronson in Death Wish. After his wife is murdered and his daughter raped, he is given a gun and, when attacked, kills the assailant, then stalks the city looking for muggers to punish. Reflecting and exploiting urban anxieties, the movie was panned by critics who found it reprehensible - "Poisonous incitement to do-it-yourself law enforcement," Variety proclaimed - and wildly garish.

...school and high school is an awkward time. They're too young to get a real job and too old to be babysat. Well-to-do families can afford summer camps and exotic learning opportunities, but they're a minority.
