Top 25 Crimes of the Century - The Lindbergh Kidnapping - TIME

The one that is interesting to me is the Andrea Yates case and all of its twists and turns legally speaking. Plus I was in Texas at the time it happened and to hear the reactions was an interesting experience as well.

Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences

The 44th Annual Meeting "The Science of Criminal Justice Sciences"
March 13-17, 2007
Seattle, Washington

Guess who is presenting??? Yes, yours truly. Be sure to check out the variety of papers and presentations.

One bit of advice, if you are interested in any of these papers or topics, you can email the presenter(s) and ask for a bibliography of the paper or s/he (they) may even send you the entire paper to view. This is a great way to get an idea of what is happening in the field of criminal justice in terms of research.
