Many theories--from the routine to the bizarre--have been offered up to explain the crime decline of the 1990s. Was it record levels of imprisonment? An abatement of the crack cocaine epidemic? More police using better tactics? Or even the effects of legalized abortion? And what can we expect from crime rates in the future? Franklin E. Zimring here takes on the experts, and counters with the first in-depth portrait of the decline and its true significance. The major lesson from the 1990s is that relatively superficial changes in the character of urban life can be associated with up to 75% drops in the crime rate. Crime can drop even if there is no major change in the population, the economy or the schools. Offering the most reliable data available, Zimring documents the decline as the longest and largest since World War II. It ranges across both violent and non-violent offenses, all regions, and every demographic. All Americans, whether they live in cities or suburbs, whether rich or poor, are safer today. Casting a critical and unerring eye on current explanations, this book demonstrates that both long-standing theories of crime prevention and recently generated theories fall far short of explaining the 1990s drop. A careful study of Canadian crime trends reveals that imprisonment and economic factors may not have played the role in the U.S. crime drop that many have suggested. There was no magic bullet but instead a combination of factors working in concert rather than a single cause that produced the decline. Further--and happily for future progress, it is clear that declines in the crime rate do not require fundamental social or structural changes. Smaller shifts in policy can make large differences. The significant reductions in crime rates, especially in New York, where crime dropped twice the national average, suggests that there is room for other cities to repeat this astounding success. In this definitive look at the great American crime decline, Franklin E. Zimring finds no pat answers but evidence that even lower crime rates might be in store.

This year’s worth of the most powerful, the most startling, the smartest and most astute, in short, the best crime journalism. Scouring hundreds of publications, Otto Penzler and Thomas H. Cook have created a remarkable compilation containing the best examples of the most current and vibrant of our literary traditions: crime reporting. Included in this volume are Maximillian Potter’s “The Body Farm” from GQ, a portrait of Murray Marks, who collects dead bodies and strews them around two acres of the University of Tennessee campus to study their decomposition in order to help solve crime; Jay Kirk’s “My Undertaker, My Pimp,” from Harper’s, in which Mack Moore and his wife, Angel, switch from run-ning crooked funeral parlors to establishing a brothel; Skip Hollandsworth’s “The Day Treva Throneberry Disappeared” from Texas Monthly, about the sudden disappearence of a teenager and the strange place she turned up; Lawrence Wright’s “The Counterterrorist” from The New Yorker, the story of John O’Neill, the FBI agent who tracked Osama bin Laden for a decade—until he was killed when the World Trade Center collapsed. Intriguing, entertaining, and compelling reading, Best American Crime Writing has established itself as a much-anticipated annual.

AMERICAN CRIME STORIES VOLUME 2: Innocent and Conviction - 2 Books in 1Featuring... *Innocent*Conviction 2 Great Books in 1! Innocent Statistics show that no less than 4 percent of those that are on death row today are innocent. In the first study of its kind, a team concluded that out of the 8000 men and women who have been sentenced to death row since the 1970s, at least 200of those were innocent. The numbers, of course, are very conservative. However, the number shows that it is possible that there have been more than 200 people put to death for crimes that they have never committed and the real criminal went unpunished. This is a very disturbing statistic because it proves that despite our best efforts to prove that justice is served, a large number of innocent people have been put to death. Conviction In 2007, the murder of Meredith Kercher inItaly was one of the most high profile cases in the past few decades. The young British exchange student had been killed by an unknown perpetrator while studying abroad, and for many years, the main suspect in the investigation was her roommate - Amanda Knox. Knox was eventually imprisoned for her roommate's mysterious death, serving several years in prison for a crime she was tenuously linked to. In 2015, it became clear that Amanda Knox had no involvement whatsoever in Meredith Kercher's death. DNA evidence proved that her murder was carried out at the hands of another suspect entirely. Despite what the media, law enforcement and the general public strongly believed for almost a decade - they were all incorrect. In 1993, three small boys from the West Memphis area of Arkansas went out to play on their bicycles in their neighborhood. The same day, all three boys were found dead in a local wooded area. Authorities immediately pinned the blame on three local teenage boys: Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelly and Jason Baldwin - more famously known as the West Memphis Three...
