Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Imaginative and fulfilling . . . an addictive contemporary crime procedural.”—Michael Connelly, The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) Caleb Carr, the author of The Alienist and The Angel of Darkness, returns with a contemporary, edge-of-your-seat thriller featuring the brilliant but unconventional criminal psychologist Dr. Trajan Jones. In the small town of Surrender in upstate New York, Dr. Jones, a psychological profiler, and Dr. Michael Li, a trace evidence expert, teach online courses in profiling and forensic science from Jones’s family farm. Once famed advisors to the New York City Police Department, Trajan and Li now work in exile, having made enemies of those in power. Protected only by farmhands and Jones’s unusual “pet,” the outcast pair is unexpectedly called in to consult on a disturbing case. In rural Burgoyne County, a pattern of strange deaths has emerged: adolescent boys and girls are found murdered in gruesome fashion. Senior law enforcement officials are quick to blame a serial killer, yet their efforts to apprehend this criminal are peculiarly ineffective. Jones and Li soon discover that the victims are all “throwaway children,” a new state classification of young people who are neither orphans, runaways, nor homeless, but who are abandoned by their families and left to fend for themselves. Two of these throwaways, Lucas Kurtz and his older sister, Ambyr, cross paths with Jones and Li, offering information that could blow the case wide open. As the stakes grow higher, Jones and Li must not only unravel the mystery of how the throwaways died but also defend themselves and the Kurtz siblings against shadowy agents who don’t want the truth to get out. Jones believes the real story leads back to the city where both he and Dr. Kreizler did their greatest work. But will Jones and Li be able to trace the case to New York before they fall victim to the murderous forces that stalk them? Tautly paced and richly researched, Surrender, New York brings to life the grim underbelly of a prosperous nation—and those most vulnerable to its failings. This brilliant novel marks another milestone in Caleb Carr’s triumphant literary suspense career. Praise for Surrender, New York “[A] page-turning thriller . . . For maximum enjoyment: surrender, reader.”—The Wall Street Journal “Every word of fiction Carr has produced seems to have been written in either direct or indirect conversation with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. . . . [Surrender, New York] allows Carr to deploy his indisputable gift for the gothic and the macabre, and the pursuit is suspenseful and believable.”—USA Today “[A] long-awaited return.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “[A] superb mystery . . . [that moves] at a swift and often terrifying pace. As in The Alienist, Carr triumphs at every twist and turn.”—Providence Journal “Edgar Allan Poe would have understood this book and hailed it a masterpiece. . . . A terrific story with a great setting and a very modern social message.”—The Globe and Mail “[An] engrossing mystery.”—Library Journal “A compulsive read . . . Carr once again delivers a high-stakes thriller featuring a new band of clever, determined outcasts.”—Booklist (starred review) “Carr’s many fans will find this well worth the wait.”—Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book The Effect of the Fugitive Safe Surrender Program on Violent Crime written by Joseph Rodriguez and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of the Ferguson Report, many have called for a return to community oriented policing. To that end, one tactic suggested is a reduction in the number of outstanding bench warrants and attached fees and fines levied by municipalities on residents. In order to accomplish this many communities have recently enacted warrant amnesty programs that aim to reduce the number of outstanding bench warrants for people charged with lesser crimes and misdemeanors. St. Louis has led this effort, designating over 200,000 warrants as eligible for amnesty in late 2014. During this time St. Louis experienced a marked increase in violent crime, leading some to view amnesty programs as drivers of higher crime rates. In order to evaluate this claim more rigorously, this study looked at an earlier nationwide program aimed at reducing the number of outstanding warrants in communities. The Fugitive Safe Surrender Program was administered by the US Marshals in a number of cities across the nation. Using city level panel data from 2005-2014, this paper utilizes a fixed effects specification to study the relationship between the Fugitive Safe Surrender Program and violent crime rates in the 108 most populous cities of the United States. The results suggest that there is no positive correlation between the program and violent crime rates. Furthermore, the analysis suggests the presence of a small negative correlation between the number of individual process by the FSS program and violent crime rates in the calendar year in which the program was administered. The results demonstrate a need for further research as more cities have adopted warrant amnesty programs similar to the FSS program.
