Crime, in other words, is, to a certain extent, like pauperism, an expression of the elimination 0f the inferior variants in society, and will continue to exist as long as we allow the process of evolution by natural selection to go on.

 Wild Shots in the War on Crime, by Rufus King
This would have caught whole organized crime enterprises in a single federal dragnet, sweeping up as co-conspirators, for example, a bookie network in Florida, along with the mobsters who controlled it from Chicago, the crooked public officials who permitted it to operate, and even the otherwise clean citizens who knowingly took profits from it.
Local crime commissions with professional staffs, such as those which have been quietly plugging away for decades in Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Miami, are well worth the support they receive, though none of the cities just enumerated could be said to have been freed of crime by their efforts.
What these national crime commission proposals amount to is the spectacle of the government itself attempting to set up, by its own authority, an independent private agency to prod it along in the discharge of the very duties it should never have been allowed to neglect or ignore in the first place.

 Crime and Punishment - Quotations
We must therefore call crime necessary and declare that it cannot be non-existent, that the fundamental conditions of social organization, as they are understood, logically imply it.
Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State's failure, all crime in the end is the crime of the community.

 Jack the Ripper’s Victims by Denise M. Clark
Though many law enforcement advances had been made by that summer in 1888 and crime scene photographs were generally taken, there still remained the common belief that a photograph of the victim’s eyes would reveal the killer in them.

The solution to the mystery and other puzzling crimes are revealed in Rich's 2001 sequel, Return Again to the Scene of the Crime: A Guide to Even More Infamous Places in Chicago.
