Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Money Thief traces my path from the age of twelve to sixty-five, through numerous prison terms, heroin addictions, several marriages, and finally, to redemption. Each chapter, or mini-story, chronicles some significant event in my life. While each event did in fact occur, their chronological sequences may not be one-hundred percent accurate. Over the passage of time, coupled with vast amounts of drugs consumed, my recollection of times and places may have been somewhat eroded, By writing this story, I hope to illuminate the fact that no matter how far afield one may wander, redemption is not only possible, with diligence of purpose and focus, it is attainable. The life I led, although influenced by various factors beyond my control, was the product of my bad choices; just as my choice of redemption was the result of my own decisions and actions. My frivolous pursuit to discover and understand the enigmatic world around me has led me on a destructive path of heartache and misery; and broken dreams that seemed beyond repair. Yet, with diligence, hard work, and a constantly evolving mind-set, I have met the awesome challenge of rehabilitation, and have firmly grasped the reins of recovery from the diabolical hands of crime, prison, and drug addiction. -James E. J.J. Jones, Oct., 2010

Download or read book I Believed Michael Jackson in Adrian the Thief of Hearts written by Waalee Fajri and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thief is recently released from federal prison, after the decision of a long-awaited appeal of bank robbery charges. He stumbles upon a DVD of the media-criminal mafia planning to have the superstar falsely indicted on child molestation charges to benefit their declining investment in the magazine, television, and newspaper industry or arrange his death. FBI Agent Spoon wants him imprisoned forever, having investigated and arrested him on numerous acts of mayhem, including robbery, jewelry heists, murder-for-hire plots, and other commissions of crime. The Mob wants him dead or a one million dollar offer to return the tape. Michael Jackson, with the assistance of The Nation of Islam¿s Minister, wants the tape to exonerate the superstar. But all Adrian ever wanted was fame and fortune and to return home to resume a failed relationship with Reagan and her son Ke¿in, and to live happily ever after. With the help of his Memphis friend (Pimp) and his illustrious call girl, will he dodge death, prison, or accept the money and sacrifice the world¿s most worshipped idol, Michael Jackson? About the Author Waalee D. Fajri is a native of Kansas City, Missouri, and changed his name from Adrian Williams, having declared his faith to Islam. He has survived troubling times, both domestic and social, ending in prison several times. This book was written in 2005, months before Michael Jackson¿s trial of the child molestation allegations. The author hopes to assist all men on the complicated journey of finding peace and closure to the world prohibiting us from success.
Download or read book Confessions of a Dying Thief written by Darrell J. Steffensmeier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Recipient of the American Society of Criminology's 2006 Michael J. Hindelang Award for a book, published within the past three calendar years, that is "the most outstanding contribution to research in criminology." *Nominated for the 2007 Outstanding Book Award of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. Sam Goodman, was a long-time thief, fence, and quasi-legitimate businessman. He had a criminal career that spanned fifty years, beginning in his mid-teens and ending with his death when he was in his mid-sixties. Confessions of a Dying Thief is an in-depth ethnographic study of Sam and his world based on continuous contact with him for many years, on multiple interviews with his network of associates in crime and business, and on a series of interviews with him shortly before he died. The book updates and greatly expands the case study of Sam Goodman's fencing activity found in Steffensmeier's award-winning 1986 book The Fence: In the Shadow of Two Worlds. It combines Sam's colorful narrative accounts with substantive commentary by the authors to provide a more nuanced portrayal of criminal careers, illegal enterprise, and the broad landscape comprising the entity called "crime." To more fully understand pathways into and out of crime as well as the social organization of illegal enterprise, the authors propose an integrative learning-opportunity-commitment framework that combines differential association/social learning theory and an extended conceptualization of criminal opportunity with a three-fold theory of commitment to crime. This framework offers an integrated and more complete way of understanding mechanisms that underlie criminal offending and criminal careers. It also recognizes the complexity and scope of the criminal landscape and its embeddedness in the fabric of the larger society, including its criminal justice system. Sam's illness and death are a sobering backdrop th

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph by a professional thief—with the aid of Edwin H. Sutherland's expert comments and analyses—is a revealing sociological document that goes far to explain the genesis, development, and patterns of criminal behavior. "Chic Conwell," as the author was known in the underworld, gives a candid and forthright account of the highly organized society in which the professional thief lives. He tells how he learned to steal, survive, succeed, and ultimately to pay his debt to society and prepare himself for full and useful citizenship. The Professional Thief presents in amazing detail the hard, cold facts about the private lives and professional habits of pickpockets, shoplifters, and conmen, and brings into focus the essential psychological and sociological situations that beget and support professional crime.
