Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Cowlam’s career as a convict, spy, detective, congressional candidate, adventurer, and con artist spanned the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Gilded Age. His life touched many of the most prominent figures of the era, including Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, and Ulysses S. Grant. One contemporary newspaper reported that Cowlam “has as many aliases as there are letters in the alphabet.” He was a chameleon in a world of strangers, and scholars have overlooked him due to his elusive nature. His intrigues reveal how Americans built trust amid the transience and anonymity of the nineteenth century. The stories Cowlam told allowed him to blend in to new surroundings, where he quickly cultivated the connections needed to extract patronage from influential members of American society. Whereas historians of capitalism have uncovered the vulnerabilities of an economic system dependent upon trust and personal relationships, Cowlam’s life exposes the liabilities of a political system constructed on the same foundations. Rather than perpetrating frauds against average citizens, Cowlam reserved his most fantastic schemes for officials in the highest levels of government. He is the only person to receive presidential pardons from both Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis during the Civil War. When the fighting ended, he conned his way into serving as a detective investigating Lincoln’s assassination, later parlaying that experience into positions with the Internal Revenue Service and the British government. Reconstruction offered additional opportunities for Cowlam to repackage his identity. He convinced Ulysses S. Grant to appoint him U.S. marshal and persuaded Republicans in Florida to allow him to run for Congress. After losing the election, Cowlam moved to New York, where he became a serial bigamist and started a fake secret society inspired by the burgeoning Granger movement. When the newspapers exposed his lies, he disappeared and spent the next decade living under an assumed name. He resurfaced in Dayton, Ohio, claiming to be a Union colonel suffering from dementia in an effort to gain admittance into the National Soldiers’ Home. In A Wonderful Career in Crime, Frank W. Garmon Jr. brings Cowlam’s stunning machinations to light for the first time.

Book excerpt: From the creator of HBO's The Wire, the classic book about homicide investigation that became the basis for the hit television show The scene is Baltimore. Twice every three days another citizen is shot, stabbed, or bludgeoned to death. At the center of this hurricane of crime is the city's homicide unit, a small brotherhood of hard men who fight for whatever justice is possible in a deadly world. David Simon was the first reporter ever to gain unlimited access to a homicide unit, and this electrifying book tells the true story of a year on the violent streets of an American city. The narrative follows Donald Worden, a veteran investigator; Harry Edgerton, a black detective in a mostly white unit; and Tom Pellegrini, an earnest rookie who takes on the year's most difficult case, the brutal rape and murder of an eleven-year-old girl. Originally published fifteen years ago, Homicide became the basis for the acclaimed television show of the same name. This new edition—which includes a new introduction, an afterword, and photographs—revives this classic, riveting tale about the men who work on the dark side of the American experience.

This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NO CAREER HAS BEEN MORE ROMANTICIZED in novels, television shows, and movies than that of a police detective. The real world of criminal investigation has little in common with the cool, fast-paced, slick-talking fictional version everyone has become so familiar with. Sometimes the job is dangerous and heart pounding, but you do not spend most of your time tailing criminals to exotic parts of the world to unravel a mystery loaded with international intrigue. For most criminal investigators, the work involves solving crimes much closer to home by tirelessly piecing together shreds of evidence that lead them to a suspect. You will be doing lots of legwork and scouring the evidence over and over again until something new pops out at you. The job takes courage, but it takes even more patience. Unlike the television version of a day in the life of some police detectives, crimes are never solved in an hour. In addition, most criminal investigators would love nothing more than to focus all their attention on one case until it is solved. That never happens. Real police detectives work on numerous cases at one time and often bemoan the fact that they cannot devote more time to a particular case. Police detectives do go out on the road. They shadow suspects, interview witnesses, follow clues, reinvestigate the crime scene, and gather evidence. Unlike uniformed police officers, criminal investigators usually work in suits and ties. Some wear more casual attire, working undercover to infiltrate criminal operations, get close to suspects, and learn about criminal activities firsthand before making an arrest. This career entails a great deal of paperwork, including the careful handling and meticulous categorizing of evidence. Police detectives gather evidence that is often needed during a trial so a prosecutor can successfully make a case against the offenders. Police detectives are charged with the awesome responsibility of apprehending the person who committed a crime. If a hardworking detective does not break the case, chances are the crime will never be solved. That is why the best detectives never give up on a case. They are always thinking about it, viewing it from different angles, searching for new clues, and canvassing a neighborhood looking for witnesses who saw something but never came forward. No matter how simple a case may seem, this job is never easy. If you love a good mystery and are willing to follow it through all its twists and turns, wherever it leads, being a criminal investigator may be the career for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new textbook will provide students of criminology with a better understanding of criminal justice policy and, in doing so, offers a framework for analysing the social, economic and political processes that shape its creation. The book adopts a policy-oriented approach to criminal justice, connecting the study of criminology to the wider study of British government, public administration and politics. Throughout the book the focus is on key debates and competing perspectives on how policy decisions are made. Recognising that contemporary criminal justice policymakers operate in a highly politicised, public arena under the gaze of an ever-increasing variety of groups, organisations and individuals who have a stake in a particular policy issue, the book explores how and why these people seek to influence policymaking. It also recognises that criminal policy differs from other areas of public policy, as policy decisions affect the liberty and freedoms of citizens. Throughout, key ideas and debates are linked to wider sociology, criminology and social policy theory. Key features include: a foreword by Tim Newburn, leading criminologist and author of Criminology (2nd Edition, 2013), a critical and informed analysis of the concepts, ideas and institutional practices that shape criminal justice policy making, an exploration of the relationship between criminal justice and wider social policy, a critical analysis of the debate about how and why behaviour becomes defined as requiring a criminal justice solution, a range of case studies, tasks, seminar questions and suggested further readings to keep the student engaged. This text is perfect for students taking modules in criminology; criminal justice; and social and public policy, as well as those taking courses on criminal and administrative law.
