Download or read book The World s Dumbest Criminals written by Jack Kirchhoff and published by HarperCollins Publishers. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two men in England photographed each other stealing thousands of dollars from gambling machines. An armed man successfully robbed a pharmacy and was captured after he boasted about it on social media. A burglar spent some time cleaning the house he was robbing, and even restocked some groceries, before he was discovered fast asleep in the homeowner’s bed. (“He did burn an old saucepan, but that happens!” reported the homeowner.) Two drunken louts stole a penguin from an aquarium and tried to release him into a canal when they were sober (he was returned to the polar enclosure, unharmed). Another man attempted to hold up a bank using a cucumber as a weapon. Two fellows tried to rob a bar where the town’s police department was holding a retirement party for one of its members. For every Moriarty, there are a thousand stupid criminals who get caught in the act, or who boast about their success on social media, or whose acts are so outrageous that the police have little difficulty tracking them down. Throughout history, these criminals have been easily captured, and have sometimes even died during an ill-fated escape. New criminals are apprehended every day thanks to their own genius, their exploits captured on YouTube and Instagram. Veteran reporter Jack Kirchhoff has recorded more than one hundred of the most ridiculous, absurd and bizarre crimes that have landed on the police blotter in recent years. Hilarious and outrageous, this book will make you shake your head and perhaps second-guess your own plans to commit petty larceny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Usually students learning criminal law and procedure are confronted with several dusty cases presented through obstruse legal prose. Obstruse? What does that even mean? In "Dumb Criminals and Overeager Cops," Professor Zachariah B. Parry tells the story of how the U.S. criminal system was developed through the actions of, well, dumb criminals and overeager cops. Paralegals using this book will learn why the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Ernesto Miranda's conviction for kidapping and rape because the police did not properly inform him of his rights. Now, police across the country are required to inform all arrestees, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law ...." Paralegals will learn the elements of dozens of crimes, along with potential defenses to these crimes using a variety of examples from real life and pop culture. This book has the primary goal of instilling in paralegal candidates a knowledge of the language and basic tenets of substantive and procedural criminal law. Recognizing that to learn, one must be engaged, the book conveys information in an easy-to-follow format with entertaining anecdotal examples so the law comes to life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addison Schact and his best friend Digger become obsessed with investigating the murder of a classmate as they travel through Washington DC’s underworld in this “thoughtful coming-of-age story and engaging teenage noir” (The New York Times). High school senior Addison Schacht is taking the prompt for his college entry essay to the University of Chicago to heart: What are your best and worst qualities? He begins to look back on his life so far and considers what getting into college, selling some pot to his classmates, his relationship with his best friend—not girlfriend—Digger, Virgil’s Aeneid, and his growing obsession with the murder of a classmate, Kevin Broadus, all mean. The more he digs into his own past, the farther he stumbles into the middle of the murder investigation. Filled with classic adolescent reflection and an intriguing mystery, The November Criminals is “one of the funniest, most heartfelt novels in recent memory—a book every bit as worthy of Mark Twain and J.D. Salinger” (The Chicago Tribune).
