Courts And Criminals - Arthur Train - Bog

Not all crimes are solved by lab-savvy CSI teams, matching some small piece of trace evidence to the culprit's DNA... they get solved by hard-working detectives doing the street level legwork that has been done by police for hundreds of years. And no-one knows this better than author Arthur Train, who was a District Attorney in New York, working side-by-side with the police. This book features a group of essays that were written by District Attorney Arthur Train between the years 1905 and 1910, and chronicle some of the most famous cases that came across his desk - including the new and growing problems that crossed the ocean from Naples, Italy. Train also discusses the way that witnesses were looked upon back in the early days of the twentieth century, especially the female ones. He also goes into trial tricks use by attorneys, and covers much more about how the criminal justice system worked at that time.
