With equality and gender-based studies becoming more important, it is a goo idea that we take a look at a gender-based analysis of residential burglary. The study is based on interviews with 105 active residential burglars, 87 of whom were males and 18 were females. The project employed a snowball sampling strategy in which an … Continue reading
The rain lashed with vindictive fury at the windows of my mansion. My skin was crawling with gooseflesh, listening to the mournful recording crackling with static under the needle of the gramophone as the song grew louder through the rain. There is an eerie undocumented history that simmers below the surface and appears periodically to … Continue reading
Given that burglars are disproportionately young, poor, city-dweller, they tend to have frequent contact with other habitual offenders. There are various structures and processes that go along with the “stolen property system”—the underground market through which in-demand goods are stolen, housed, marketed, and resold on the street of America. Burglary is a crime that is … Continue reading
Without saying a word, I rose from the sofa and walked straight to the kitchen. As I drew near a soft of mist seemed to pass before me; and as I looked at it, I saw William. I said to myself, “Poor William!” Daisy looked up. She feared something unimaginable had happened. “Are you okay, … Continue reading
People are responsible for their own motives, attitudes, desires, and actions. Our words, works, and thoughts will condemn us. Burglary offenders generally exhibit pronounced criminal careers. Only 32 percent of the 4,000+ defendants who stood before the courts on felony burglary charges were without a prior felony arrest record. One third has a rap sheet … Continue reading
It was a chilly night late November, and I was deep in my thoughts. I had been working all evening in the library, and at last I had some time to rest, and was tired. Completely alone, I came and sat down in an armchair by the hearth. Shivering, I was cold, and rubbing my … Continue reading
Sometimes it is not easy to tell the difference between a mistake and a sin. The boundary can be uncertain. Take the matter of the beautiful China Doll Tree in our backyard. One spring when it finally started growing again, after being cut down, the gardener thought the tree was getting too tall, he pruned … Continue reading
Interestingly, a sizable proportion of our respondents purposely targeted people who themselves were involved in crime. Such individuals make excellent targets. Their participation in street culture encourages the acquisition of vehicles most prized by carjackers (those with valuable, if often gaudy, after-market items). And, because they are involved in a number of illegal activities (such … Continue reading
Mr. Hansen was appalled to see the treasures coming through the front door: a German chandelier of sliver and Murano glass, silver candlesticks, enameled chests, coffered beds fitted with blue velvet curtains, carpets from Persia, and a splendid harpsicord with a double keyboard and a long triangular case. It was pained with galloping satyrs and … Continue reading
It is possible that depictions of violence often glamorize vicious behavior. They offend the Spirit and could possibly make one less able to respond to others in a sensitive, caring way. They also may contradict the Savior’s message of love for one another. The second portion of our interviews with carjackers dealt with the aftermath … Continue reading
At the center of marriage stands the union of body and mind between the spouses. Because this union’s significance extends beyond the couple themselves, the…
Here is the thing. The Democrats’ real agenda is the one they will not talk about. It is the one they cannot talk about. It…
Some wonder whether humanity can ever recover the original innocence attributed to Adam and Eve — a state of unbroken trust, unmediated experience, and harmony…
