During the Great Depression, levels of crime actually dropped. During the 1920s, when life was free and easy, so was crime.

Stieg Larsson

PARDON, v. To remit a penalty and restore to the life of crime. To add to the lure of crime the temptation of ingratitude.

Ambrose Bierce

Crime to many is not crime but simply a way of life. If laws are inconvenient, ignore them, they don't apply to you.

Dick Francis

Crime and the fear of crime have permeated the fabric of American life.

Warren E. Burger

Once I got interested in organized crime, and, specifically, Jewish organized crime, I got very interested in it. I have learned that, like my narrator Hannah, I'm a crime writer in my own peculiar way. Crime with a capital "C" is the subject that I'm stuck with - even Sway is about "crime" in a certain way. The nice thing about crime is that it enables you to deal with some big questioO
