Highly recommended for the student of crime

"Almanac of World Crime" chronicles the exploits of the underworld: murder, robbery, arson, torture, rape, kidnapping, extortion, and blackmail, to name just a few. It takes the reader on a fascinating tour of the world of crime.Plenty of photographs and illustrations are used to bring this book to life, with each chapter dealing with a particular type of crime (ie murder, robbery, arson, etc). The author has collected cases from all time periods and countries, so this truely is an almanac in every sense of the word.
