Crime Classification Manual Part I Chapter 4 2

A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES

SECOND EDITION

John E. Douglas, Ann W. Burgess, Allen G. Burgess, and Robert K. Ressler, Editors

 

To be involved in the justice system is to be humbled by one’s lilliputian role in a process that extends well beyond a suspect’s arrest. Is justice served merely when a suspect is taken into custody? What if a manslaughterer is charged as a murderer? What if a cold-blooded killer is prosecuted as a battered woman? Is that justice? Obviously not.

Nor is it justice to presume that even among all types of offenders, each is as blameworthy as the next. Each of us who imparts our experiences in this book viscerally recognizes that crimes distinguish themselves for their severity as well. Experience in murder, sexual assault, even property crimes imbues one with an appreciation that some crimes separate themselves from others as the worst of the worst.
