Sidelights on Criminal Matters (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Sidelights on Criminal Matters I hope that in addition to interesting criminologists it may make an appeal to a Wider public, for crime is an ever absorbing topic and, stripped of its sordidness, may provide quite palatable fare for the world and his Wife. One of my sub-motives in penning these chapters has been to endeavour to forewarn, and consequently to forearm, my readers against the Wiles of the cracksmen. It is of incalculable advantage to possess information of the enemy's plans and tactics prior to his assault. As the logical outcome of such a purpose I have intentionally shunned the discussion of the question of penology-the shape which the punishment of the convicted offender should assume. Like the police man himself, I have endeavoured to deal With the criminal through the usual consecutive phases of the preparation for, and commission of, the crime, passing thence, through the normal and charted channel of motive, clue, deduction.
