Best Quotes about Crime and criminals

1.
Crime expands according to our willingness to put up with it.
Farber, Barry J.

Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.
Christie, Agatha

3.
Crime and punishment grow out of one stem. Punishment is a fruit that, unsuspected, ripens with the flower of the pleasure that concealed it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Canetti, Elias

The man who is admired for the ingenuity of his larceny is almost always rediscovering some earlier form of fraud. The basic forms are all known, have all been practiced. The manners of capitalism improve. The morals may not.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

8.
He has committed the crime who profits by it.
Seneca

9.
Crimes of which a people is ashamed constitute its real history. The same is true of man.
Genet, Jean

Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is also true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.
Kennedy, John F.

Want of money and the distress of a thief can never be alleged as the cause of his thieving, for many honest people endure greater hardships with fortitude. We must therefore seek the cause elsewhere than in want of money, for that is the miser's passion, not the thief s.
Blake, William

12.
The lyricism of marginality may find inspiration in the image of the outlaw, the great social nomad, who prowls on the confines of a docile, frightened order.
Foucault, Michel

13.
Like art and politics, gangsterism is a very important avenue of assimilation into society.
Doctorow, E. L.

14.
Small crimes always precedes great ones.
Racine, Jean

15.
The greatest crime in the world is not developing your potential. When you do what you do best, you are helping not only yourself, but the world.
Williams, Roger

Locks keep out only the honest.
Proverb, Jewish

17.
The infectiousness of crime is like that of the plague.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

18.
Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

19.
Almost all crime is due to the repressed desire for aesthetic expression.
Waugh, Evelyn

20.
Organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year. This is quite a profitable sum, especially when one consider that the Mafia spends very little for office supplies.
Allen, Woody

21.
Crimes, like virtues, are their own rewards.
Farquhar, George

22.
Squeeze human nature into the straitjacket of criminal justice and crime will appear.
Kraus, Karl

23.
Successful crimes alone are justified.
Dryden, John

24.
We may live without friends; we may live without books. But civilized men cannot live without cooks.
Meredith, Owen

25.
He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it.
Plato

26.
How vainly shall we endeavor to repress crime by our barbarous punishment of the poorer class of criminals so long as children are reared in the brutalizing influences of poverty, so long as the bite of want drives men to crime.
George, Henry

27.
It is because they took the easy way out that rivers, and people, go crooked.
Peterson, Jill

28.
Repudiating the virtues of your world, criminals hopelessly agree to organize a forbidden universe. They agree to live in it. The air there is nauseating: they can breathe it.
Genet, Jean

29.
There is a heroism in crime as well as in virtue. Vice and infamy have their altars and their religion.
Hazlitt, William

30.
After all, crime is only a left-handed form of human endeavor.
Huston, John

31.
Every rascal is not a thief, but every thief is a rascal.
Aristotle

32.
One crime is everything, two is nothing.
Deluzy, Madame Dorothe

33.
Crime is a fact of the human species, a fact of that species alone, but it is above all the secret aspect, impenetrable and hidden. Crime hides, and by far the most terrifying things are those which elude us.
Bataille, Georges

34.
Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.
Seneca

35.
We are often deterred from crime by the disgrace of others.
Horace

36.
Today more Americans are imprisoned for drug offenses than for property crimes
Will, George F.

37.
The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself. All that you despise, all that you loathe, all that you reject, all that you condemn and seek to convert by punishment springs from you.
Miller, Henry

38.
In times of trouble leniency becomes crime.
Proverb

39.
Stripped of ethical rationalizations and philosophical pretensions, a crime is anything that a group in power chooses to prohibit.
Adler, Freda

40.
The world of crime is a last refuge of the authentic, uncorrupted, spontaneous event.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

41.
My rackets are run on strictly American lines and they're going to stay that way.
Capone, Al

42.
One crime has to be concealed by another.
Seneca

43.
Many commit the same crime with a different destiny; one bears a cross as the price of his villainy, another wears a crown.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

44.
From a single crime know the nation.
Virgil

45.
There is no crime of which I do not deem myself capable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

46.
A burglar who respects his art always takes his time before taking anything else.
Porter, O. Henry

47.
Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State's failure, all crime in the end is the crime of the community.
Wells, H.G.

48.
One usually dies because one is alone, or because one has got into something over one's head. One often dies because one does not have the right alliances, because one is not given support. In Sicily the Mafia kills the servants of the State that the State has not been able to protect.
Falcone, Giovanni

49.
We cannot be sure that we ought not to regard the most criminal country as that which in some aspects possesses the highest civilization.
Ellis, Havelock

50.
All, all is theft, all is unceasing and rigorous competition in nature; the desire to make off with the substance of others is the foremost -- the most legitimate -- passion nature has bred into us and, without doubt, the most agreeable one.
Sade, Marquis De
