" History is laden with outlaws and criminals who have
committed terrible crimes and then paid the price.
Almost everyone is familar with Bonnie and Clyde,
Butch Cassidy, and Al Capone. But how many of us know
their complete stories; what their childhoods were
like, why they went wrong, what their first crimes were,
who worked with - and against - them, and how they ended up?
Finding out what these criminals did, why they did it, and
what happened as a result is the focus of The Crime Encyclopedia.

This intriguing read offers you a provocative look at a wide
variety of criminals, including murderers, spies, mobsters,
bootleggers, robbers, terrorists, swindlers, pirates, computer criminals,
racketeers and gamblers, bandits and gunslingers.

Organized by criminal type, biographies are approximately two-to-five
pages in length and provide fascinating insight into the criminal's
personal background, his or her crimes and misdeeds, and what
happened after the dirty deeds were done. Also featured are 117 photos
and illustrations as well as numerous sidebars that identify fictional
crooks, related media adaptations, and books for further reading.

In addition to biographical profiles of a wide variety of criminals,
The Crime Encyclopdia also brings you the drama of 19 of
history's most notable - and notorious - murder trials. Look for
scintilating coverage of the trials of O.J. Simpson, Timothy McVeigh,

its key moments, and an analysis of the descision's aftermath. "
