	Comic Book Resources - CBR News: Examining Gaiman’s “Violent Cases” with Peter Sanderson
		“Violent Cases” was the next step in the evolution of what began with Lee and which the books of 1986 took to the next logical step.
		Readers of graphic novels like "Violent Cases" often try to distance such mature stories from the genre of fantasy and superheroes so prevalent in comics, but the truth is that while realism intrudes upon such stories, these stories cannot be divorced from the fantasy genre.
		Gangsters carry their “tommy guns” in “Violent Cases,” a playful allusion to the violence inherent in the story; but it also references the child’s unreliable memory, as at one point in the story he innocently mistakes the words “violin cases” for “violent cases.”

	Violent Cases - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Violent Cases is a short graphic novel written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Dave McKean.
		The nature of the narrator's relationship with his father, the tales the osteopath told, and the disturbing events that followed, are partially obscured by the narrator's imperfect recall of things he was not old enough to understand at the time.
		As with many of Gaiman's other works (most notably The Sandman) Violent Cases is a story about stories, and its themes of early childhood perception and the nature of memory are visited again in 1994's Mr.

		Cases involving crimes against persons were up 93%, Violent Crime Index offenses (a subset of person offenses) were up 98%, and weapons law violations were up 156%.
		The proportion of cases referred by law enforcement was higher for aggravated assault (91%) and robbery (96%) cases.
		When a case is referred to juvenile court, intake staff may decide to hold the youth in a detention facility while the case is being processed.

		Cases handled by public defenders move more swiftly because these attorneys are usually systematic in handling cases and have a clear understanding of court operations.[11] In addition, defendants who can afford privately retained attorneys also may have the economic resources to contest evidence and file more motions.
		Cases involving the issuance of a bench warrant took considerably longer to resolve in all nine courts (significantly longer in six).[13] In addition, cases involving a charge reduction added time in seven of nine courts (though significantly in only three).
		Because the case processing time dependent variable is calculated by deducting the number of days from the scheduled hearing for which the defendant failed to appear to the defendant's rearrest, the bench warrant variable is not influenced by the length of time that defendants are outside court control.

		In such cases the jurisdiction of the juvenile court was "waived" and the youth were transferred to adult criminal court.
		For example, for violent offenses, the percentage of African-American youth who were arrested exceeded the percentage they represented in cases filed for such offenses in two jurisdictions, St. Louis (86% of arrests and 75% of filings) and Marion Counties (56% of arrests and 40% of filings).
		These included cases where the defendant was acquitted or placed on diversion, where the prosecutor declined to prosecute the case, or the court dismissed the case or deferred judgment on the case.

		The number of violent offenses is then used to calculate the violent crime rate by looking at the number of offenses per 100,000 people.
		Simply stated, it is unlikely that the “true” violent crime rate increased in the 1990s given the collaborating nature of the UCR and NCSV data.
		Second, the growth in the prison population from 1995 to 2001 is overwhelmingly due to the incarceration of violent offenders.

		In 1997, juvenile courts processed 61.1 delinquency cases for every 1,000 juveniles in the population—those age 10 or older who were under the jurisdiction of a juvenile court (table 3).

		For example, the percentage of waived cases for juveniles age 16 or older decreased from 93 percent in 1988 to 88 percent in 1992.
		We classified cases as juveniles on the basis of the defendants' age at the time of arrest because data were not available for the defendants' age at the time of the offense.
		NCJJ's estimates of the number and characteristics of delinquency cases and cases that were waived by juvenile courts were on the bases of the assumption that the characteristics of cases in counties that did not report juvenile court statistics were similar to those counties of similar size that did report statistics to NCJJ.

	SAVANT:: Essential
		Violent Cases was Gaiman and McKean's first published work in comics.
		And in moments like the first panel of the second page, where the reader looks up at the looming figure of the narrator's father from knee-level, it captures some of the essence of what it is to be a child.
		Violent Cases is a literary comic, in the sense that the genre its story fits into best is that of mainstream literature.

		Of the cases which did proceed to trial, the accused was found guilty in more domestic violence cases than in other cases of violent crime – 83% of trials in domestic violence cases resulted in convictions, compared to 72% of trials in other violent crimes.
		In cases where a sentence of imprisonment was imposed, it was more likely to be suspended in its entirety in domestic violence cases than in other types of cases – total suspension occurred in 60% of the domestic violence cases involving imprisonment, as compared to 44% of cases involving other violent crime.
		Overall, while the domestic violence cases in the sample were treated somewhat more lightly than other forms of violent crime – particularly with respect to the possibility that the offender will receive a wholly-suspended prison sentence – the differences in sentencing patterns between the two categories of cases were not marked.

		Violent criminals who prey on San Francisco's residents and visitors have a better chance of getting away with their crimes than predators in any other large American city.
		However, San Francisco's 34 percent decrease in violent crime from 1996- 2000 was matched, on average, by America's 20 largest cities - a decline criminal justice experts generally attribute to a strong economy, tougher sentencing laws and a decrease in the number of young men most likely to commit crimes.
		The case was discussed with the district attorney's office, which didn't think a conviction was possible, said Lt. Jere Williams, supervisor of the sexual assault detail.

		However, in half the delinquency cases handled in 1991, the decision was made to process the case formally and hold either a transfer or an adjudicatory hearing.
		In 1991, in 44% of the cases in which the juvenile was transferred to criminal court, the charge was a property offense; in 34% the charge was a person offense.

	Violent Cases Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		With the exception of a new afterword from Gaiman (ruminating on the passage of time both in the book and in his life since it was first published), the contents themselves haven't changed since that first colour printing (which dropped the original Alan Moore introduction from the first edition, I believe).
		"Violent Cases" are the cases gangsters carry their Tommy guns in, and this is the story of Gaiman as narrator telling of the time he, as a four-year-old, met Al Capone's osteopath, in Portsmouth, England.
		You might ask what this guy is doing in Portsmouth, and we find out by the end of the book...it's not laid out completely on the carpet for you; you have to interpret these events seen by a kid with an adult's perspective to 'get' it.

		Now Violent Cases is available with a stunning new cover by McKean and revised interior colour to accurately reflect the artist's vision.

		I believe there are cases in which nonviolent action wouldn't stand a chance, and where any attempt at it is futile.
		On the other hand, the cases in which nonviolent action wouldn't work are often just the cases in which violence as well would prove pointless or worse.
		The opposite case is likely more common: Where violent efforts would be easily contained or instantly crushed, nonviolent action may be the only realistic choice.
