Quotations regarding 'Crime'

Choose a letter: 
But what sin is to the moralist and crime to the jurist so to the scientific man is ignorance.
Frederick Soddy, English Scientist (1877-1956)
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.
Steven Spielberg, American Director (1947-  )
With no other security forces on hand, U.S. military was left to confront, almost alone, an Iraqi insurgency and a crime rate that grew worse throughout the year, waged in part by soldiers of the disbanded army and in part by criminals who were released from prison.
John Spratt, American Politician (1942-  )
But in my district I have heard from law enforcement officials and across the State of Florida about how much this JAG funding helps them fight crime, and to protect and serve the citizens within their jurisdiction.
Cliff Stearns, American Politician (1941-  )
Since 1994, unemployment rates are lower. Median household income is higher. A greater percentage of Americans are graduating from college. Home ownership rates are higher. And the violent crime rate has decreased.
Cliff Stearns, American Politician (1941-  )
The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.
Max Stirner, German Philosopher (1806-1856)
There is one instance that we cite in the report where in one of the conversations a member of organized crime is talking to another member of organized crime and he suggests that Attorney General Kennedy should be murdered.
Louis Stokes, American Politician (1925-  )
Our findings with reference to organized crime was that organized crime as an entity didn't participate in the assassination of the president. However, we were unable to preclude the possibility of individual members of organized crime having participated.
Louis Stokes, American Politician (1925-  )
In a colony constituted like that of New South Wales, the proportion of crime must of course be great.
Charles Sturt, Australian Explorer (1795-1869)
There are criminals who are drug users, but most addicts are criminals only by virtue of prohibition or from resorting to crime to pay inflated black market prices.
Danny Sugerman, American Musician (1909-2005)
The criminal law needs to be improved to meet new forms of crime, but to denounce financial devices which are useful and legitimate because use is made of them for fraud, is ridiculous and unworthy of the age in which we live.
William Graham Sumner, American Businessman
A shocking crime was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the blessing of more, and amid the passive acquiescence of all.
Tacitus, Roman Historian
Too much sensibility creates unhappiness and too much insensibility creates crime.
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, French Diplomat (1754-1838)
What clever man has ever needed to commit a crime? Crime is the last resort of political half-wits.
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, French Diplomat (1754-1838)
Murder is not the crime of criminals, but that of law-abiding citizens.
Emmanuel Teney, -
The first song is called 'London.' It's about two Russian soldiers who desert the Russian army and escape to London, where they indulge in a life of crime.
Neil Tennant, English Musician (1954-  )
Countries and states which have capital punishment have a much higher rate of murder and crime than countries that do not, so that makes sense to me, and the moral question - I struggle with it morally.
Charlize Theron, South African Actress (1975-  )
Maybe... there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for unlawfully detaining 120 people. Maybe they just got carried away with last year's idea of pre-emptive strikes and thought, 'Let's not wait for an actual crime to occur. Let's get the innocent.
Mark Thomas, British Comedian (1963-  )
When you look at where the real problems are among minorities in our society, particularly blacks, it's at the bottom. It's the people who are in school systems that don't educate, neighborhoods where there is a lot of crime, drugs, the whole bit.
Clarence Thomas, American Judge (1948-  )
Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect.
Hunter S. Thompson, American Journalist (1937-2005)
