Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No crime is as synonymous with America as bank robbery. Though the number of bank robberies nationwide has declined, bank robbery continues to captivate the public and jeopardize the safety of banks and their employees. In A History of Heists, Jerry Clark and Ed Palattella explore how bank robbers have influenced American culture as much as they have reflected it. Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, Willie Sutton, and Patty Hearst are among the most famous figures in the history of crime in the United States. Jesse James used his training as a Confederate guerrilla to make bank robbery a political act. John Dillinger capitalized on the public’s scorn of banks during the Great Depression and became America’s first Public Enemy Number One. When she held up a bank with the leftist Symbionese Liberation Army, Patty Hearst fueled the country’s social unrest. Jerry Clark and Ed Palattella delve into the backgrounds and motivations of the robbers, and explore how they are as complex as the nation whose banks they have plundered. But as much as the story of bank robbery in America focuses on the thieves, it is also a story of those who investigate the heists. As bank robbers became more sophisticated, so did the police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other law enforcement agencies. This captivating history showshow bank robbery shaped the modern FBI, and how it continues to cultivate America’s fascination with the noble outlaw: bandits seen, rightly or wrongly, as battling unjust authority.

Book excerpt: Robbery is a particularly important and interesting type of crime. It is important because of the psychological and physical trauma suffered by the million victims each year, and because of the fear engendered by the threat of robbery; this threat causes changes in lifestyle that are destructive to social life and the sense of community in urban areas. Robbery is particularly interesting to criminologists because it is the only one of seven traditional FBI Index crimes that is both a property crime and a violent crime. It shares with other crimes of property the primary motivations (money), and the fact that in most cases the perpetrators do not know their victims. It shares with other types of violent crime a fairly high probability of victim injury or even death, the face-to-face encounter between perpetrator and victim, and the extreme overrepresentation of males and blacks among perpetrators (and, to a lesser extent, among victims). Developing an empirical basis for criminal justice system policy with respect to robbery requires more than descriptive information; unfortunately, there is no automatic connection between our ability to describe or diagnose a problem, and our ability to intervene effectively to mitigate the problem. Needless to say, our ability to provide reliable descriptive information on robbery is more advanced than our ability to assess the potential effectiveness of policy interventions. The last chapter of this report suggests a useful framework for understanding the robbery process from a policy perspective, and summarizes research that is germane to several specific policy options.

Download or read book The Santa Claus Bank Robbery written by A. C. Greene and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master storyteller A. C. Greene re-creates one of America's most bizarre holdups -- one that began as a lark. On Christmas Eve 1927, four men set off to rob the First National Bank of Cisco, Texas. Soon the lark turned into a tragedy -- and at times a comedy -- of errors. The robbers did not realize the car they had stolen for their get-away was running on empty. The leader did not anticipate the attention his disguise would draw, even though it was a bright red Santa Claus suit. And they could not have known that all of Cisco would have guns at hand because the Bankers Association had offered a reward of $5000 for any dead bank robber, no questions asked. The Santa Claus bank robbery set off a chain of events that would lead to violence and the death of six men and launch the largest manhunt Texas had ever seen. A. C. Greene's factual account of the unusual crime reads like a novel -- fast paced, full of unexpected turns, and rich with the flavor of life in Texas at the beginning of the end of the Old West. This new edition contains an Afterword with photographs, some of them never before published, and follow-up information on the lives of the participants, including the surviving robber, witnesses and kidnap victims.
