| | Crime fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | At the beginning of the new millennium the output of crime novels in both the United Kingdom and the United States was enormous. | | | Some of the crime novels generally regarded as the finest, including those which are regularly chosen by experts as belonging to the best 100 crime novels ever written (see bibliography), have been out of print ever since their first publication, which often dates back to the 1920s or 30s. | | | The evolution of the print mass media in the United Kingdom and the United States in the latter half of the 19th century was crucial in popularising crime fiction and related genres. |

| | Death Penalty, NYC Style (Gotham Gazette. October, 2005) |
| | Occasionally, an individual crime still results in calls for the death penalty, such as the case of Ronell Wilson, who is accused of killing two undercover NYPD detectives in Staten Island in 2003 and is currently facing trial in federal court, where the death penalty is still available. | | | Crime (shorthand for Crime, Police and the Courts) refers to relationships among criminal activity, the police, the courts and community life. | | | The prominence of the death penalty debate in the Manhattan district attorney race is even stranger because New York state does not currently have a functioning death penalty, although the law allowing prosecutors to seek death sentences is still on the books. |

| | Crime, by David D. Friedman: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty |
| | It may well be that "organized crime" is not so much a corporation as a sort of Chamber of Commerce for the criminal market—a network of individuals and small firms that routinely do business with each other and occasionally cooperate in their mutual interest. | | | The decision to commit a crime, like any other economic decision, can be analyzed as a choice among alternative combinations of costs and benefits. | | | One interesting issue in the economic analysis of crime is the question of what legal rules are economically efficient. |

| | Criminal Justice 2000 called The Internationalization of Criminal Justice about the importation of crime: narco-terrorism, street crime and gangs, home invasions, credit-card and staged-accident scams, identity theft, and white slavery. | | | To the law enforcement community, particularly at the local level, global crime is frequently linked to illegal aliens (now officially recorded as entering the US at a rate of some 25,000 each month, and probably far higher in actuality). | | | A further problem in controlling immigrant crime is the out-of-sight, out-of-mind phenomenon: To most Americans, the foreign population barely registers, let alone the criminals among them. |

| | Crime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Most traffic violations or breaches of contract are not crimes in a legal sense. | | | Also, in order for a crime to be prosecuted, corpus delicti (or "proof of a crime") must be established. | | | The attempt to commit a crime may to be punished, even if the crime is not completed (in California, USA e.g., the punishment can be half of that for the crime itself [1]); for instance, it is generally a crime to attempt to murder someone, even if one has not succeeded in doing so. |

| | While the hate crime definition used by the FBI for purposes of crime statistics includes sexual orientation, disability, and gender as protected categories, this is not the case for all hate crime laws. | | | Others oppose hate crime laws, stating that imposing a greater penalty on an act committed in hate would thus make hating illegal, citing the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, in which certain thoughts were legally punishable crimes. | | | In other cases, classification of a hate crime is by the judgment of law enforcement and prosecutors. |

| | Reason: Washingtons Biggest Crime Problem: The federal governments ever-expanding criminal code is an affront to justice and the Constitution. |
| | Federal jurisdiction over essentially local crimes is contrary to the system of government envisioned by the Framers, under which Congress was to have only those powers specifically enumerated in the Constitution. | | | Federal prosecutors are free to cherry-pick high-profile or politically expedient cases, knowing that the cases they reject probably will be prosecuted in state court. | | | The overreaching of federal criminal law is especially troubling because institutional and procedural features of the federal system invite prosecutorial abuses, make convictions easier to obtain than in state systems, impose harsh mandatory sentences even for nonviolent acts, and result in disparate treatment of similarly situated defendants. |

| | Capital punishment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | While those against capital punishment might claim this as an irrevocable right, proponents may claim that, as protection from abuse is the basis of such rights, that the right was forfeit by the seriousness of the crimes. | | | Thus, capital punishment is the penalty for a crime so severe that it 'deserves' death, either by decapitation (losing one's head) or otherwise. | | | Capital punishment, also referred to as the death penalty, is the judicially ordered execution of a prisoner as a punishment for a serious crime, often called a capital offence or a capital crime. |
