Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crime and the Family While these discussions on prisons and criminal re forms have been prosecuted, little or no attention has been given to this terrible fact - the existence of crime itself. The existence of crime and criminals has seemed to be regarded as the necessary products of social development. Hence no investigations have been prosecuted to* search out the origin and source and cause of this terrible social evil, and ascertain, if possible, upon whom rested the responsibility that criminals were, somewhere in the bosom of society, being constantly educated into a life of crime. This subject is of the deepest moment, and an effort to fathom it can not fail to do good. It will at least open up the inquiry, and point out the mode of its proseca tion. These criminals were once innocent babes, drawmg their life from a mother's breast. They were once in the family, and have come forth from it, not to adorn and bless, but to prey upon society. By whose fault and neglect does this take place? And how can it be prevented, if prevented it can be? In the following'work, I shall endeavorto furnish a solu tion to these all-important questions, by endeavoring to ascertain the origin and cause of crime, and the manner in which these cau'ses may be removed, and the education of criminals prevented.

Book excerpt: Just days from meeting the reaper, a convicted murderer hires Chicago’s most hard-boiled PI to save his neck—before the executioner can claim it Robert Westland’s death is just around the corner when he finally decides to fight the murder rap that’s sending him to the electric chair. Fingered for his wife’s grisly demise, Westland is in a bind, and his last hope is Bill Crane, a booze-soaked detective who’s as ruthless with a quip as he is when trawling the streets for Chicago’s most brutal criminal element. Crane’s got just a few days to suss out the real killer—someone clever enough to off Westland’s wife and lock her in a room whose only key belongs to Westland himself. Fueled by an abundance of liquor and a habit of bad manners, Crane sets his sights on a cast of oddball characters among whom hides a murderer. But in 1930s Chicago, everyone’s got a secret, and the pressure is on for Crane to separate the dangerous from the truly homicidal before it’s too late.

For thirty years they fought a bloody battle for control of New York's underworld to emerge as the nation's richest and most powerful crime family. Now Mafia expert John H. Davis tells their compelling inside story. Here are the chilling details and deceptions that created a vast criminal empire.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chronicles of Newgate, Vol. 1 of 2 Perhaps the refinement of torture, however, had been reached under the cowardly and superstitious Louis XI, whose iron cages were of such shape and size that the prisoners could languish in them for years unable either to stand upright or to stretch full length upon the ﬂoor. One feels the grim humour of fate that condemned the Bishop of Verdun, their inventor, to be the first to suffer in them. Life - long confinement under such conditions was the so-called clemency of rulers desiring to be thought merciful. Supported first by hope, then deadened by despair, men endured life in these prisons for years only to leave them bereft of health or reason. The famous names of those who languished in them is legion. Fouquet, the default ing minister of Louis XIV, whose magnificence had rivalled that of the king himself, was punished by such captivity for twenty years. The Man with the Iron Mask, whose identity, lost for three cen tuties, has been proved beyond a doubt after care ful comparison of all theories, pined his life away in one of them, accused, like Dreyfus, of having sold a secret of state.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jukes a Study in Crime, Pauperism, Disease, and Heredity The line of inquiry pursued by Mr. Dugdale and brieﬂy recited in these pages, will aid all persons searching out the preventable sources of crime and endeavoring to repress it. Whoever carefully investigates the history of individual offenders and traces out the careers of typical groups of the offending classes, will recognize the practical bearings of this definite and comprehensive study Of the physical, mental and social circum stances nnder which they are nurtured. A departure downward, from virtue to vice and crime, is possible in the career of any youth; but the number of well-born and well-trained children who thus fall is exceedingly small. Habitual criminals spring almost exclusively from degenerating stocks; their youth is spent amid the degrading surroundings of physical and social defilement, with only a ﬂickering of the redeeming inﬂuence of virtuous aspiration. The career of of fenders ao trained, at last becomes a reckless warfare against society; and when the Officers of justice overtake them and con sign them to prisons, the habits of vicious thought and criminal action have acquired the strength and quality of instincts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Glenns: A Family History In a merely worldly View, the reasoning of the last mentioned lady, that her son would probably be better cared for by his uncle than by her new husband and herself, was not far from correct. For no father ever watched more carefully or guarded more scrupulously the education of his son, than did Abram that of both his nephews. His 'want of experience and solitary habits may, in a measure, have unfitted him for the task of guide and protector; but so far as his knowledge and ability extended, no parent could exceed him in zeal and vigilance. If he erred culpably in anything, it was in allowing both his wards a rather free command of money. He thought, and very correctly, that denying them could but produce one of two re sults, it would either lower their standard of self-respect, thus drfing their characters an irreparable injury, by the comparison they would not fail to make between their own stinted allowance and the more liberal supply of their companions - or it would tempt them to equivocal and perhaps criminal means of obtaining that which their boyish feelings represented as indispensable. In either event their characters would be seriously, perhaps per manently Injured, and in the one case probably as vitally as in the other. He knew the pride of the race, and he was too sen sible a man not to know that what would ruin a boy of one temperament, would only develope and improve one of another. He had never fallen into the stupid, pedagogical mistake founded upon the astonishing wisdom of the truism, that boys are boys - that all children must be subjected alike to the same discipline. He was accordingly sensible that refusing his wards the means of gratifying their harmless, boyish wants, would so touch their pride and beat their naturally warm blood, that they might be hurried into faults for'whichyears of repentance could not atone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This premium quality large print volume includes the complete and unabridged classic translation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's " Crime and Punishment" -- a work which became an enduring and still-popular classic, exerting a world-wide influence that continues today. This freshly edited and newly typeset edition features heavyweight 60# bright white paper and a large 7.44"x9.69" page size with a fully laminated cover featuring an original full color design. Also included in this volume is extensive introductory commentary, including biographical and critical essays, discussing Dostoyevsky's life, work and literary significance, to provide useful background information for the modern reader. "Crime and Punishment..." A psychological novel written before the phrase "psychological novel" existed, "Crime and Punishment" is widely regarded as Dostoyevsky's masterpiece, establishing his reputation as a powerful and influential novelist. Against the backdrop of the oppressive heat and smell of summer in St. Petersburg and in the shadow of religious faith, Dostoyevsky explores complex themes of alienation, criminal psychology, guilt, nihilism, expiation, atonement, and what might today be considered narcissistic personality disorder and in an earlier time might have been called megalomania. Convinced that "superior" people, like himself, are above the law, Raskolnikov believes that he could make much better use of an old woman's wealth and decides he is entitled to rob her. When the robbery goes horribly wrong, Raskolnikov begins to doubt his superiority, and his growing guilt and a cat-and-mouse game that ensues with Porfiry Petrovich, the shrewd police investigator, drives him further into isolation and despair. Focusing on the psychological punishment Raskolnikov suffers as a result of his crime, Dostoyevsky suggests that true rehabilitation can come only through atonement and redemption, regardless of any punishment meted out by the authorities. Like Dickens in England, Dostoyevsky was embraced by the masses about whom he wrote and to whom he spoke, despite criticism by contemporary "experts" who found his subject matter unsuitable for "literature" and his work lacking in style and technical merit. And like Dickens, Dostoyevsky has become an inextricable part of the culture of his country and the essential literature of the world.

Book excerpt: Edgar Award Finalist: The true story of a serial killer who terrorized a midwestern town in the era of free love—by the coauthor of The French Connection. In 1967, during the time of peace, free love, and hitchhiking, nineteen-year-old Mary Terese Fleszar was last seen alive walking home to her apartment in Ypsilanti, Michigan. One month later, her naked body—stabbed over thirty times and missing both feet and a forearm—was discovered, partially buried, on an abandoned farm. A year later, the body of twenty-year-old Joan Schell was found, similarly violated. Southeastern Michigan was terrorized by something it had never experienced before: a serial killer. Over the next two years, five more bodies were uncovered around Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan. All the victims were tortured and mutilated. All were female students. After multiple failed investigations, a chance sighting finally led to a suspect. On the surface, John Norman Collins was an all-American boy—a fraternity member studying elementary education at Eastern Michigan University. But Collins wasn’t all that he seemed. His female friends described him as aggressive and short tempered. And in August 1970, Collins, the “Ypsilanti Ripper,” was arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole. Written by the coauthor of The French Connection, The Michigan Murders delivers a harrowing depiction of the savage murders that tormented a small midwestern town.
