Book excerpt: New Orleans Police Officer Stephen Calvert does more than just shield the people of the Big Easy from crime. Since he was a small boy, Stephen has been entrusted with an extraordinary gift-or maybe it's a curse.

Now an adult, Stephen must root out an ancient evil amassing around New Orleans. In the city of Voodoo, this public servant-a devout Catholic and mere mortal-must battle the forces of the rising Antichrist with only his wits and strong faith to guide him. And the stakes couldn't be higher. Fighting through a maze of dive bars, seedy businessmen, corrupt cops, and other hidden dangers, Stephen finds himself in the struggle of his life as he hastens to learn who to trust and who to vanquish before the Antichrist unleashes his infinite wrath upon an unwitting world.

Patrick Crough served more than twenty years as a Monroe County Major Crimes detective, where he investigated some of the region’s most tragic crimes. They include horrifying acts, like that of a Valentine’s Day killing rampage that left four people dead, as well as the case against Ed Laraby, the serial rapist who terrorized women in Rochester and Monroe County.

In these pages, Crough details four of his most memorable cases—in which he was forced to confront evil and chose to pursue truth.
Download or read book Brazilian Detective Chronicles written by Luís Fernando de Lima Júnior and published by Luís Fernando de Lima Júnior. This book was released on 2023-07-26 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much is a life worth? Are some lives more or less important? For the investigators at the Homicide Division of São José dos Campos, the answer is, 'every life is worth it and represents a loss to those who love them.' 'Our day begins when yours ends…' It's truly a grim but fitting motto, as the dedication and commitment of the police officers are the deciding factor in surpassing the state average of 42% homicide clearance rate. The motto is fitting because the dedication and effort of these officers compensate for the well-known lack of infrastructure, the true bottleneck of all public services. Most people view public service (including the Police) as bureaucracy that hinders everything and favours those who merely seek a position. What they don't realize is that the position carries a responsibility and a duty of dedication that surpasses any private job. There is no overtime, no stomachache, no excuse. If the phone rings and the call is to attend a crime scene, even in the dead of night, every second counts. After all, it's not just another case or an inert body. It's a grieving family that awaits justice to bring some comfort. Conceptually, police investigation is a technical activity, rooted in the production and construction of knowledge about facts and people, solely for the purpose of providing procedural instruction through written reports. Naturally, this requires technical expertise to gather information and discernment to understand and transform it into knowledge, as well as writing skills to put an explanation of the facts, circumstances, and individuals involved on paper clearly. In other words, it's not for just anyone. In practice, investigation is an art, and Brazilian Detective Chronicles tells us a bit about this through real cases solved by the former Homicide Team of the General Investigations Department, now the 3rd Homicide Division of the Specialized Criminal Investigations Division of São José dos Campos. It's no wonder our city is a national reference. With an annual average of 80 cases in 2016, the team cleared 70% of homicides, even with a shortage of personnel and the precariousness of working conditions choking the investigative efforts. Today, the numbers are even better (less than 40 homicides per year and more than 75% of cases cleared), making São José dos Campos one of the best and safest cities in Brazil. In this book, through the account of real cases, we reflect on the causes of criminality and present some conclusions that necessarily depend on a government focus on public policies for education and youth promotion. The idea has always been to explain, in an accessible way, how investigations unfold and how we reached the level of national reference. It wasn't easy, but we tried to make the narrative as enjoyable and enlightening as possible. After all, this is our history, our vocation, and the reason we do not hesitate to move forward in the face of danger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years immediately following the erection of the new gaol, crime was once more greatly in the ascendant. After the peace which gave independence to the United States, the country was overrun with discharged soldiers and sailors. They were mostly in dire poverty, and took to depredation almost as a matter of course. The calendars were particularly heavy. At the September Sessions of the Old Bailey in 1783, fifty-eight were convicted for capital offences. The Deputy Recorder, in passing sentence, remarked that it gave him inexpressible pain, and that it was truly alarming "to behold a bar so crowded with persons whose wickedness and imprudence had induced them to commit such enormous crimes as the laws of their country justly and necessarily punish with death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • The astonishing true story of “one of the most startling police corruption scandals in a generation” (The New York Times), from the Pulitzer Prize–nominated reporter who exposed a gang of criminal cops and their yearslong plunder of an American city NOW AN HBO SERIES FROM THE WIRE CREATOR DAVID SIMON AND GEORGE PELECANOS “A work of journalism that not only chronicles the rise and fall of a corrupt police unit but can stand as the inevitable coda to the half-century of disaster that is the American drug war.”—David Simon Baltimore, 2015. Riots are erupting across the city as citizens demand justice for Freddie Gray, a twenty-five-year-old Black man who has died under suspicious circumstances while in police custody. Drug and violent crime are surging, and Baltimore will reach its highest murder count in more than two decades: 342 homicides in a single year, in a city of just 600,000 people. Facing pressure from the mayor’s office—as well as a federal investigation of the department over Gray’s death—Baltimore police commanders turn to a rank-and-file hero, Sergeant Wayne Jenkins, and his elite plainclothes unit, the Gun Trace Task Force, to help get guns and drugs off the street. But behind these new efforts, a criminal conspiracy of unprecedented scale was unfolding within the police department. Entrusted with fixing the city’s drug and gun crisis, Jenkins chose to exploit it instead. With other members of the empowered Gun Trace Task Force, Jenkins stole from Baltimore’s citizens—skimming from drug busts, pocketing thousands in cash found in private homes, and planting fake evidence to throw Internal Affairs off their scent. Their brazen crime spree would go unchecked for years. The results were countless wrongful convictions, the death of an innocent civilian, and the mysterious death of one cop who was shot in the head, killed just a day before he was scheduled to testify against the unit. In this urgent book, award-winning investigative journalist Justin Fenton distills hundreds of interviews, thousands of court documents, and countless hours of video footage to present the definitive account of the entire scandal. The result is an astounding, riveting feat of reportage about a rogue police unit, the city they held hostage, and the ongoing struggle between American law enforcement and the communities they are charged to serve.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... THE CASE OF THE LOST FOREIGNER. I Have already said in more than one place that Hewitt's personal relations with the members of the London police force were of a cordial character. In the course of his work it has frequently been Hewitt's hap to learn of matters on which the police were glad of information, and that information was always passed on at once; and so long as no infringement of regulations or damage to public service were involved, Hewitt could always rely on a return in kind. It was with a message of a useful sort that Hewitt one day dropped into Vine Street policestation and asked for a particular inspector, who was not in. Hewitt sat and wrote a note, and by way. of making conversation said to the inspector on duty, " Anything very startling this way to-day?" "Nothing very startling, perhaps, as yet," the inspector replied. "But one of our chaps picked up rather an odd customer a little while ago. Lunatic of some sort, I should think--in fact, I've sent for the doctor to see him. He's a foreigner--a Frenchman, I believe. He seemed horribly weak and faint; but the oddest thing occurred when one of the men, thinking he might be hungry, brought in some bread. He went into fits of terror at the sight of it, and wouldn't be pacified till they took it away again." "That was strange." "Odd, wasn't it? And he was hungry too. They brought him some more a little while after, and he didn't funk it a bit, --pitched into it, in fact, like anything, and ate it all with some cold beef. It's the way with some lunatics--never the same five minutes together. He keeps crying like a baby, and saying things we can't understand. As it happens, there's nobody in just now who speaks French." "I speak French," Hewitt replied. "Shall I try him?..".
