I watched an old movie once I think James Cagney was in it. He was a tough guy and he was reminiscing throughout the entire movie before he went to the final scene in the chair. He played a tough guy that the street kids all looked up to and a priest talked him into going to the chair crying and screaming so the papers would proclaim that the "tough guy" went to his death crying and screaming so the street kids would realize that tough guy criminals are human and not so tough in the end. It was all an act and a last show of goodness to try and straighten the kids out so they would go down the right path when they realized their hero was not so tough. It was a good movie.
Back then people realized how bad juvenile delinquency had become in the 40's and 50's. Hollywood started making movies that portrayed thugs as assholes because a bunch of religious organizations said movies were making kids think mobsters were cool. The producers and directors agreed and an entire slew of movies were made saying as much. It was effective.
