BUSTED: MUGSHOTS AND ARREST RECORDS OF THE FAMOUS AND INFAMOUS

Book ID/图书代码: 01899011B44961

English Summary/英文概要: Although the headlines fade, the humiliation, vulnerability, and sometimes chilling smugness of the alleged criminal in the mug shot stands the test of time. Busted presents 500 of the most famous, surprising, disturbing, and just plain pathetic mug shots in history.

Name and date of arrest are provided, but also here are the fascinating, shocking, and sometimes ludicrous stories of the circumstances that led to each arrest, and occasionally details of the trial and punishment (or merely the humble apology) that followed.

Alleged criminals from all walks of life, and from the last 150 years, face front and turn to the left in this enthralling slice of social history. Among the alleged perpetrators are Bill Gates (running a red light, driving without a license), James Brown (carrying an unlicensed weapon and assaulting a police officer), Lenny Bruce (obscenity), Al Capone (tax evasion), Jeffery Dahmer (rape, torture, murder, cannibalism), Eminem (assault), Mick Jagger (drugs charges), Malcom X (burglary), Al Pacino (carrying a concealed weapon), Charles Barkley (disorderly conduct), Bernie Madoff (securities fraud, investment advisor fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, perjury, making false filings with the SEC, theft from an employee benefit plan), Bugsy Siegel (gambling and bootlegging), Tupac Shakur (sexual assault), Roger Clinton (drug dealing), and hundreds more.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 本书向读者呈现了历史上最著名、却也最令人诧异的500起刑事犯罪案件。

姓名和逮捕日期均已提供,但是每一个案例却又那么令人震惊并更像是一场荒唐的闹剧,不信就请看一下那些审判和惩罚的细节吧(结果甚至仅仅只是一个“无比诚挚”的道歉)。
