History
As early as 1930 the Chicago Crime Commission had published a list of 28 people identified as " enemy of society ": classified by Chicago ( en " Public Enemy "). Thus, the pressure of persecution rose to the listed persons whose first Al Capone was enormous.
The idea of creating the list or the concept goes back to a magazine article from 1949, in which a journalist from International News Service ( later United Press International), the " toughest guys " ( in the original: " toughest guys" ) presented that the FBI sought at this time. The public response to this product was so good that the former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover led the establishment of the "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives " program. On March 14, 1950, the first top- ten list was published.
Since then, after 491 people ( as at 29 November 2008) on the "Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives ", he looks, among these were eight women. Of these, 452 persons were taken, of which 147 for clues from the population. The proceedings against 15 Most Wanted have been set, after which they were removed from the wanted list. Five people were removed from the list because they no longer meet the " eligibility criteria ". The alleged murderer Donald Eugene Webb was on the list since 1981. It was canceled on 31 March 2007 from the list without ever having been localized. His record of more than 25 years spent on the list was outbid by Víctor Manuel Gerena in 2010. Gerena is on the list since 1984.

The selection of persons, according to which one of the " Ten Most Wanted Fugitives " the researchers are to take before officials of the departments " Criminal Investigative Division " (CID ) and the "Office of Public Affairs ." Proposals will be here submitted by the 56 local offices of the FBI in the United States. Selection criterion is in addition to the scope and severity of the alleged crime (they must pose a threat to society, in the original " Considered a particularly dangerous menace to society" ), the probability of success increase by public APB.
The crimes that apply in this context as a " menace to society ", changed over time. In the 1950s, bank robbers and car thieves were sought on the top ten list, during the upheavals of the 1960s moved left-wing radicals and kidnappers, while since the 1970s, organized crime and terrorism has been added increasingly to the fore. After the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, a separate wanted list for terrorists was created - the " FBI Most Wanted Terrorists ".
Since the late 1980s, the FBI is also reinforced on television as a multiplier for searches. The most popular show is America's Most Wanted, which ran at FOX.
Since 7 June 1999, was the terrorist Osama bin Laden on the list. On information leading to his arrest, 25 million U.S. dollars were first exposed.
