It's probably safe to say there are serial rapists roaming free in America and it's our own justice system's fault.

Pretty provocative statement, right? Well, it is meant to be.

Recent reports from the National Institute of Justice, Human Rights Watch and others confirm many...

There are outstanding bench warrants for thousands of parents all across America.

A man named David, the president of a consulting company in California owes $198,954.70. Gene, a man who now lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico dodged his obligation for some twenty years and is $242,147.00 in debt. And a...

When you go into the voting booth to cast your ballot for the next President of the United States ask yourself why neither of the nominees is talking about crime in America.

Maybe I have a one track mind - crime - but why is it that neither Barack...

No Body, No Trial? No Way!

My mailbox is filling up with e-mails asking how prosecutors can try to convict someone of murder if no body has been found. Is it fair to proceed to trial without one? Without a body isn't there always reasonable doubt about whether the person...

When did murder become so entertaining?

Throughout history death has been the center of classic literature. Think Cain and Abel, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. But there's something very different about reading the great books and what passes for entertainment these days.

Take television for example where...

Ahem. I'd like to get the attention of the American Bar Association, please. While I'm at it, the attention of each of the State chapters of the ABA too.

Are you there? Good. Listen, at the risk of getting some of my lawyer friends mad at me I want...

This is the time in every outgoing President's term where they pour over requests seeking Presidential pardons. I'm sure it's no different for President George W. Bush as he gets set to vacate the White House.

Those convicted of federal offenses -- everything from white collar crimes to bank robbery...

I wondered if I would ever see this day. I'm glad I lived to see it.

As I recently wrote, I've been reporting on the exploits of Orenthal James Simpson since that day in June 1995 when I stood in the blood of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend...

America has a doctrine that very clearly separates our government from our various religions, a definite separation of Church and State. Our founding fathers wrote about the need to keep the two institutions detached way back in 1791 when adopting the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

I had never seen so much blood in my life.

As the coroner's wagon pulled away -- there it was. Puddles of it. Some of it had oozed down the cracks in between the pathway pavers and toward the sidewalk. As I looked closer I could see paw prints...

This is the sound of me opening a Pandora's Box. But crimes are being committed so I must.

Look, I'm a sympathetic person. I openly weep at complete stranger's misfortunes. But I cannot abide people who break the law and then want sympathy because they get caught and punished.

She missed celebrating her 3rd birthday with her family. No cake, no candles, no presents for little Caylee Marie Anthony of Orlando, Florida. She has been missing since sometime after June 15th. Her birthday was August 9th.

Now, a couple of numbskull bail bondsmen have given Caylee's secretive, lying...

When Senator Barack Obama traveled to the Middle East not long ago he had more than presidential politics on his mind. He was also on a secret mission to help an Illinois constituent get back her four kidnapped young daughters. Obama slipped a note to the Palestinian Prime Minister about...

Have you ever been the victim of a bully? Ever stand silent and let a bully pick on someone?

Most people wouldn't consider bullying a crime -- but it could be creating criminals right before our very eyes.

A study from a group called Fight Crime: Invest in Kids...

Ever since I saw secret agent Maxwell Smart take off his shoe and use it as a telephone I've been fascinated by the array of 'toys' available to law enforcement.

So, as I was flipping through Tactical Weapons Magazine the other day (hey, no telling where an intrepid columnist...

From time to time I get in my e-mail box a message like this:

"...A friend of mine has made a YouTube video about the murder of my 10 year old brother in Jacksonville, Florida in 1968. Glen's death was not investigated in 1968 and still today there...

David is a convicted child molester, a registered sex offender, who has served his time and currently lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

So what should society do with him now that he's out? Watch him like a hawk? Well, that's already being done via the registry through which he must...

Warden Ralph Logan, a man the inmates used to call Idi Amin for his stern attitude, had an epiphany one day while entering the Eastern Correctional Institution in Westover, Maryland.

He saw a little five or six year old girl wearing a beautiful Sunday-best pink dress, obviously there to...

When I was a rookie TV reporter covering crime I got the chance to go on an early morning drug raid with the Newark, N.J., Police Department.

We met at a station house in downtown Newark at 3 a.m., sleepy eyed, coffee in hand, but ready for the...

Patsy Ramsey is looking down from the heavens she always prayed to with her trademark beauty pageant smile. Standing next to her is her beautiful daughter, JonBenet Ramsey. They are benevolent but still wagging a finger of "I-told-you-so" at all of us.

The letter of exoneration was stunning in...
