There are few better measures of the concern a society has for its individual members and its own well being than the way it handles criminals.

Am I a criminal? The world knows I'm not a criminal. What are they trying to put me in jail for? You've lost common sense in this society because of religious fanaticism and dogma.

Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.

Nothing matters but the facts. Without them the science of criminal investigation is nothing more than a guessing game.

A lot of my friends are gangsters. Not like gangsters - well yeah all sorts of levels of criminality - but not the types that are preying on innocent people. I have no interest in the type of criminality that has no respect for collateral damage.

I always watched movies and rooted for the bad guys you know? I've always been that kind of guy. I still hold some respect for criminals that are good at their jobs.

If there is one realm in which it is essential to be sublime it is in wickedness. You spit on a petty thief but you can't deny a kind of respect for the great criminal.

The successful revolutionary is a statesman the unsuccessful one a criminal.

Deregulation created this epidemic of greed which according to the rules of capitalism was OK. Beyond that there was criminal behaviour. There have been no repercussions and it's hard to make your peace with.

Thus anybody who follows this nature and gives way its states will be led into quarrels and conflicts and go against the conventions and rules of society and will end up a criminal.
