Sinopse

Crime Reporting Gaps explores the pervasive issue of underreported crime and its far-reaching consequences for criminal justice policy. It highlights how gaps in crime statistics, stemming from systemic biases and lack of institutional trust, distort our understanding of crime trends. A key insight includes how victims' fear and distrust in law enforcement significantly contribute to underreporting, skewing law enforcement data and hindering the development of effective evidence-based policies. 

 
The book argues that the challenge of underreporting isn't merely a statistical problem; it reflects deeper societal issues, such as socio-economic disparities and cultural norms, that impact community engagement. By examining victimology and analyzing crime statistics from various sources, the book reveals how these data deficiencies affect policing strategies and judicial decisions. 

 
Importantly, Crime Reporting Gaps links these reporting issues to broader discussions in political science and public policy, emphasizing the necessity of accurate data for informed governance. Progressing from foundational concepts to practical solutions, the book examines the reasons behind underreporting, analyzes its impact on law enforcement, and proposes strategies for improving crime reporting. It advocates for community engagement, technological innovations, and policy reforms to enhance the integrity of criminal justice data. This approach offers valuable insights for policymakers, law enforcement professionals, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities of crime and justice.

Stealing Rembrandts - The Untold...

Tom Mashberg, Anthony M. Amore

Today, art theft is one of the most profitable criminal enterprises in the world, exceeding $6 billion in losses to galleries and art collectors annually. And the masterpieces of Rembrandt van Rijn are some of the most frequently targeted. 
 
 
 
In Stealing Rembrandts, art security expert Anthony M. Amore and award-winning investigative reporter Tom Mashberg reveal the actors behind the major Rembrandt heists in the last century. Through thefts around the world—from Stockholm to Boston, Worcester to Ohio—the authors track daring entries and escapes from the world's most renowned museums. There are robbers who coolly walk off with multimillion dollar paintings; self-styled art experts who fall in love with the Dutch master and desire to own his art at all costs; and international criminal masterminds who don't hesitate to resort to violence. They also show how museums are thwarted in their ability to pursue the thieves—even going so far as to conduct investigations on their own, far away from the maddening crowd of police intervention, sparing no expense to save the priceless masterpieces. 
 
 
 
Stealing Rembrandts is an exhilarating, one-of-a-kind look at the black market of art theft, and how it compromises some of the greatest treasures the world has ever known.

Most Controversial Cases of the...

Editors Charles River

There are few cases in American history as well known as Sacco and Vanzetti, and perhaps none of them were as controversial or socially charged as the trials against the two Italian immigrants in the early 20th century. The two avowed anarchists were ultimately tried and executed for murder and armed robbery, but the case said as much about the society trying them as it did about their guilt or innocence. Over 90 years later, there is still a heated debate over whether the two men, who arduously asserted their innocence, were actually guilty. 
	There has been no shortage of shocking crimes and trials that generated frenzied coverage across America, but few can lay claim to “crime of the century” like the murder carried out by Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb in 1924. While studying as young adults at the prestigious University of Chicago, Leopold and Loeb devised a meticulous plot to kidnap and murder a child while managing to get away with ransom money, thereby perpetrating what they considered a “perfect crime.” 	The crime was horrific enough, but the trial brought even more attention to the case, and it touched on several crucial issues. Both young men cited the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche as a motivation for attempting to commit the crime and prove they were better than the common man.   
	On March 1, 1932, 20 month old Charles Lindbergh, Jr. was kidnapped right out of his crib from the family’s home in rural East Amwell, New Jersey, and for 10 long weeks, the nation hoped and prayed in chorus with the distraught parents for his safe return. Both Charles and his pregnant wife Anne made frequent, public pleas for their son’s safe return, while ransom negotiations took place between a self-identified kidnapper and Dr. John F. Condon, a volunteer intermediary. On April 2, the Lindbergh family paid a ransom of $50,000 in exchange for information about the child's whereabouts, but the information was false.
