Quotes by Yair Lapid

Organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year and spends very little on office supplies.

Quotes by Woody Allen

Crime and legal stories, broadly speaking, are just where my interest happens to lie.

Quotes by William Landay

Crime, family dissolution, welfare, and low levels of social organization are fundamentally a consequence of the disappearance of work.

Quotes by William Julius Wilson

In the deregulated realm of US banking and finance, crime does occasionally pay for its foul deeds, not in prison time but by making modest rebates to the victims.

Quotes by William Greider

Quality-of-life policing is based on probable cause - an officer has witnessed a crime personally or has a witness to the crime.

Quotes by William Bratton

If there's one crime for which there has to be a certainty of punishment, it is gun violence.

Quotes by William Bratton

No place is unpoliceable; no crime is immune to better enforcement efforts.

Quotes by William Bratton

Policing has to be done compassionately and consistently. You cannot police differently in Harlem than you're policing downtown. The same laws must apply. The same procedures must be employed. Certain areas at certain times may have more significant crime and require more police presence or more assertiveness, but it has to be balanced.

Quotes by William Bratton

Quotes by William Barr

Since 1992 we have made dramatic progress in reducing violent crime.

Quotes by William Barr

It was once understood that resistance is a serious crime because it necessarily triggers an escalation of violence that endangers the life not only of the police office, but also the suspect.

Quotes by William Barr

Crime and violence are the easiest emotions to reenact.

Quotes by will.i.am

Quotes by Wilhelm Keitel

Quotes by Whitney Cummings

Crime and the fear of crime have permeated the fabric of American life.

Quotes by Warren E. Burger

Many who resort to crime ultimately can't read or write.

Quotes by Wally Amos

Murder is unique in that it abolishes the party it injures, so that society has to take the place of the victim and on his behalf demand atonement or grant forgiveness; it is the one crime in which society has a direct interest.

Quotes by W. H. Auden

Crime is a product of social excess.

Quotes by Vladimir Lenin

My loathings are simple: stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music.

Quotes by Vladimir Nabokov

I used to always fight for human rights. I still fight for Leonard Peltier, who's spent 35 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit.

Quotes by Vivienne Westwood

Disgrace does not consist in the punishment, but in the crime.

Quotes by Vittorio Alfieri

To err is human; but contrition felt for the crime distinguishes the virtuous from the wicked.

Quotes by Vittorio Alfieri

We should not televise trials. There's only one purpose for a criminal trial. It's to determine whether or not the defendant committed the crime. Anything that interferes or has the potential of interfering with that should automatically be prohibited.

Quotes by Vincent Bugliosi

In my opinion, the Warren Commission's investigation has to be considered the most comprehensive investigation of a crime in history.

Quotes by Vincent Bugliosi

Quotes by Victor Cruz

We must put together countries that produce drugs, countries that traffic, and countries that consume, and through this multilateral effort really stop the growing of crime.

Quotes by Vicente Fox

The contemporary crime novel is, at its best, a novel of character. That's where the suspense comes from.

Quotes by Tupac Shakur

My brother and I moved out to Hollywood initially to be a band, and where we lived, there was crime all over with my brother and I being the victims sometimes.

Quotes by Troy Duffy

Labour is the party of law and order in Britain today. Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime.

Quotes by Tony Blair

A defendant on trial for a specific crime is entitled to his day in court, not in a stadium or a city or nationwide arena.

Quotes by Tom C. Clark

Mass media over-represents persons of color in negative ways, especially as criminals, relative to the share of crime actually done by such persons.

Quotes by Tim Wise

Violating the 4th Amendment guarantees against illegal searches and seizures is not the way to solve crime problems.

Quotes by Tim Wise

We need to send a clear message to gang members that violent crime will not be tolerated.

Quotes by Thomas Menino

We must be vigilant in our actions towards criminals, and innovative in our approach towards solving crime.

Quotes by Thomas Menino

New Jersey has decided that fewer handguns legally carried in public means less crime. It is obvious that the justifiable need requirement functions as a rationing system designed to limit the number of handguns carried in New Jersey.

Quotes by Thomas Hardiman

A jury of my countrymen, it is true, have found me guilty of the crime of which I stood indicted. For this I entertain not the slightest feeling of resentment towards them.

Quotes by Thomas Francis Meagher

To punish a man because we infer from the nature of some doctrine which he holds, or from the conduct of other persons who hold the same doctrines with him, that he will commit a crime, is persecution, and is, in every case, foolish and wicked.

Quotes by Thomas Babington Macaulay

Targets don't fight crime.

Quotes by Theresa May

There is nothing inevitable about crime and there is nothing inevitable about anti-social behaviour.

Quotes by Theresa May

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

Quotes by Theodor W. Adorno

Alzheimer's is literally killing us, and the only way to fight this 'crime' is through a groundswell of people who continue to raise their voices and funds to ensure it gets the attention it deserves.

Quotes by Tess Gerritsen

It wasn't until the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide was ratified by the United Nations in 1948 that Lemkin's proposed law was given at least the appearance of force and effect.

Quotes by Terry Glavin

At the October 1933 proceedings of the League of Nations in Madrid, Lemkin mounted a valiant effort to persuade the gathered ambassadors to define and agree to punish the crime of what we now call genocide. He failed.

Quotes by Terry Glavin

J. Edgar Hoover very famously denied the existence of organized crime up until the Appalachian Meeting, I think, in 1957. It was interesting to me that he clearly had to know that there was such a thing as organized crime and organized criminals as far back as the '20s.

Quotes by Terence Winter

In terms of pure volume, I probably read more psychological mystery and historical true crime than anything else.

Quotes by Tana French

I like books like 'The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher,' where the investigation of a crime becomes a way into an exploration of the society where the crime took place.

Quotes by Tana French

A shocking crime was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the blessing of more, and amid the passive acquiescence of all.

Quotes by Tacitus

Crime stories are, as you know, one of the most popular forms of entertainment that exist. If you then try to have something to say... that I have, of course.

Quotes by Stieg Larsson

I'm a fast writer, and crime novels are easy to do. It's much harder to write a 1,000 word article, where everything has to be 100 per cent correct.

Quotes by Stieg Larsson

In many respects I have gone out of my way to avoid the usual approach adopted in crime novels. I have used some techniques that are normally outlawed - the presentation of Mikael Blomkvist, for instance, is based exclusively on the personal case study made by Lisbeth Salander.

Quotes by Stieg Larsson

I have tried to create main characters who are drastically different from the types who generally appear in crime novels. Mikael Blomkvist, for instance, doesn't have ulcers or booze problems or an anxiety complex. He doesn't listen to operas, nor does he have an oddball hobby such as making model airplanes.

Quotes by Stieg Larsson

I abhor crime novels in which the main character can behave however he or she pleases, or do things that normal people do not do, without those actions having social consequences.

Quotes by Stieg Larsson

I watch a lot of true crime on TV.

Quotes by Steven Soderbergh

Naturally, it is a terrible, despicable crime when, as in Munich, people are taken hostage, people are killed. But probing the motives of those responsible and showing that they are also individuals with families and have their own story does not excuse what they did.

Quotes by Steven Spielberg

There are lots of procedural shows that I love, but I never really wanted to be a doctor on 'E.R.' - which I'm just picking as an example - or be on a crime procedural.

Quotes by Stephen Moyer

One of the strangest unintended consequences of abortion, of legalized abortion, was that it drives the crime rate down because what abortion really was, was a mechanism for which fewer unwanted children could be born.

Quotes by Stephen J. Dubner

The Holocaust was the most evil crime ever committed.

Quotes by Stephen Ambrose

I really did grow up in a world where we were taught that crime doesn't pay and we stood up when the teacher came into the room.

Quotes by Stanley R. Jaffe

The stories I read or get attracted to have a kind of thrill element, or a crime.

Quotes by Sriram Raghavan

Only three or four thrillers are made in Hindi cinema in a year. There is a fascination for crime genre but producers think thrillers don’t have that much of a market or will not get picked up for satellite rights.

Quotes by Sriram Raghavan

I know a lot of crime writers feel very underrated, like they're not taken seriously, and they want to be just thought of as writers rather than ghettoised as crime writers, but I love being thought of firmly as a crime writer.

Quotes by Sophie Hannah

Nobody has ever written as many enjoyable, fun-to-read crime novels as Agatha Christie. It's all about the storytelling and the pleasure of the reader. She doesn't want to be deep or highbrow.

Quotes by Sophie Hannah

Most crime fiction plots are not ambitious enough for me. I want something really labyrinthine with clues and puzzles that will reward careful attention.

Quotes by Sophie Hannah

Crime fiction is a way of satisfying that nosy need to know.

Quotes by Sophie Hannah

Hate crime and hate speech must not be tolerated. Our policy and lawmakers and those who uphold the law must protect the most vulnerable in our society.

Quotes by Sinead Burke

On an island, anything can happen. In a crime novel, it usually does.

Quotes by Sharon Bolton

I'm a bit of a hacker fanatic and know a fair bit about that industry and cyber crime and cyber warfare.

Quotes by Seth Gordon

If you shell a military base and happen to kill civilians, you have not committed a war crime; if you deliberately target cities and towns, you have.

Quotes by Sebastian Junger

One could reasonably argue that the Turkish pogrom against the Armenians during World War I qualifies as a crime against humanity, as does the United States' ethnic cleansing of Native Americans.

Quotes by Sebastian Junger

For me, I really like the human drama embedded in a crime story, and I like the way European films do that.

Quotes by Scott Frank

The Thames Torso murders almost fell into my lap. After deciding to use a real historical crime as the focus for the book, I went to Google and searched for unsolved murders in Victorian London, and they basically popped out at me about halfway down the first results page.

Quotes by Sarah Pinborough

People just like a good crime story; they want to know who did it.

Quotes by Sarah Koenig

Whistle-blowing and publishing should not be seen as a crime, and certainly not as terrorism.

Quotes by Sarah Harrison

I think crime is probably driven more by morality than anything else.

Quotes by Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Scottish writers are particularly successful in the crime genre.

Quotes by Sara Sheridan

The crime novel has always been my favourite genre.

Quotes by Sara Paretsky

White-collar crime gets more outrageous by the second in America.

Quotes by Sara Paretsky

Sisters in Crime now has more than 4,000 members worldwide.

Quotes by Sara Paretsky

I used to steal from the library, which is a crime and it's bad, but I just couldn't get enough books, and I also didn't like to give them back once I'd read them. I just read everything.

Quotes by Sara Pascoe

I can't begin to describe how humiliating it is for a law-abiding citizen to be cross-examined in a court of law for a crime he hasn't committed.

Quotes by Sanjay Leela Bhansali

The worst crime against working people is a company which fails to operate at a profit.

Quotes by Samuel Gompers

We see book-burning as a crime against humanity: it's intolerable because books represent a kind of freedom to us.

Quotes by Samantha Harvey

Certainly, I don't think I can ever be accused of being soft on crime.

Quotes by Sally Yates

Our streets should be safe at all times. You shouldn't have to worry about things like knife or other crime.

Quotes by Sajid Javid

The most divisive issue facing New Yorkers in 2013 is stop and frisk, a tactic used by law enforcement to stop, question, and frisk people suspected of a crime.

Quotes by Sal Albanese

Chinatown is tremendously interesting... It's a part of the city that hasn't really been explored in crime literature or in any general literature. It's as though Chinatown didn't exist. People write about New York without mentioning Chinatown at all.

Quotes by S. J. Rozan

The poor and minorities are disproportionately both crime's perpetrators and its victims. People are saddened when this happens but not surprised.

Quotes by S. J. Rozan

Black-on-black crime is a massive human rights issue that's going on in America.

Quotes by Ryan Coogler

I absolutely adore classic crime and read a huge amount as a teen - Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Sherlock Holmes, Josephine Tey, and many more.

Quotes by Ruth Ware

Illegal is not a race, it is a crime.

Quotes by Russell Pearce

Arizona did not make illegal, illegal. It is a crime to enter or remain in the U.S. in violation of federal law. States have had inherent authority to enforce immigration laws when the federal government has failed or refused to do so.

Quotes by Russell Pearce

It's great that I can look up a fact instantly on my cellphone, but I miss the days in my room with a dog-eared, text-heavy paperback, immersed in the statistics of crime and punishment and lunacy, completely alone with the narrative of human depravity.
