Mr. Alpert, a nine-time Emmy winner, has a unique ability to gain access to places and people that others can't. He uses this talent to create incredibly detailed and convincing portraits of lives marked by ugliness, including struggles with drugs, crime, poverty, and disease. The subjects of his film, who are predominantly white and Latino, make mistakes that are seemingly inevitable, allowing the film to explore themes that transcend racial stereotypes.

Alpert returns to Newark in "Life of Crime 2", driven by the slim chance to redeem himself.
