An entirely new venture in surveying crime, and current crime. Comprehensively and expertly, but understandable to the layman, the leading authorities have written on many aspects of crime and criminology.

Writings include: The high cost of hanging, fingerprint forgery, the aberrational murderer, the imprisonment of Adolf Beck, scientific methods in crime detection, police dogs, the Armstrong case, the dating of human bones, coloured policemen and questioned documents.
