Excerpt from Warped in the Making: Crimes of Love and Hate
Although I have found it necessary to rearrange slightly one or two details, the series of cases described in this book can be found in the archives of the police.
Several of the stories I have especially chosen because of the ingenuity displayed both by the law-breakers and the investigators.
Truly the science of crime has developed and has armed itself with modern weapons. But equally so has the knowledge of those who are responsible for the protection of the community expanded until the laboratory, equipped with camera, microscope and chemical retorts, has become its greatest ally.
Famous men such as M.Bertillon, Prof. Lombrose, Dr. Edmond Locard and many others have made the study of crime and criminals, and the psychology of both, the absorbing pursuit of their lives.
Little is known, however, of this science. It has been thought wise not to inform the potential or actual wrongdoer of the dangers with which his career is studded.
That is one point of view! If, however, the possible criminal (or even the habitual criminal) knew more of the odds against the probability that any crime can remain unpunished for long, he would think twice before committing one.
