This is the second of a three volume landmark study of the criminal mind. This book describes an intensive therapeutic approach designed to completely change the criminals way of thinking. The authors reject traditional treatment approaches as reinforcing of the criminals sense of being a victim of society. Rather Yochelson and Samenow stress that the criminal must make a choice to give up criminal thinking and learn morality. A Jason Aronson Book

When Frances McKee, a former Marine, was a first-year history teacher, young wife, and mother of two little ones living in San Francisco in 1961, she never imagined that in a few months she would become the darling of the New Jersey Mob. It all came about when she couldn't accompany her Marine husband to Okinawa and had to return to Long Branch, New Jersey to live with her mother. As fate would have it, a waitress at the Landmark Hotel needed someone to take part of her shift. Frances took the job there and later at the Surf Lounge in June 1962, intending to work for fourteen months, but ended up staying for fourteen years. The Surf Lounge at the time was run by James "Skippy" Faye and Pat Simonetti, son-in-law of Vito "Don Vito" Genovese, the reputed "vice lord of America." Although Simonetti was not part of the Mob, it was only natural that The Surf would earn the reputation of being a Mob hangout. Mobsters I Have Known & Loved is not another chronicle of crimes committed by the Mob, but a lighthearted memoir of the Mob's fun, pranks, humor, and good deeds. Although Frances endeared herself to several mobsters, one in particular stole her heart - Anthony "Little Pussy" Russo, who inspired her to write this book. Mobsters I Have Known & Loved is Frances McKee's first book.

On January 20, 1984, Earl Washington—defended for all of forty minutes by a lawyer who had never tried a death penalty case—was found guilty of rape and murder in the state of Virginia and sentenced to death. After nine years on death row, DNA testing cast doubt on his conviction and saved his life. However, he spent another eight years in prison before more sophisticated DNA technology proved his innocence and convicted the guilty man. DNA exonerations have shattered confidence in the criminal justice system by exposing how often we have convicted the innocent and let the guilty walk free. In this unsettling in-depth analysis, Brandon Garrett examines what went wrong in the cases of the first 250 wrongfully convicted people to be exonerated by DNA testing. Based on trial transcripts, Garrett’s investigation into the causes of wrongful convictions reveals larger patterns of incompetence, abuse, and error. Evidence corrupted by suggestive eyewitness procedures, coercive interrogations, unsound and unreliable forensics, shoddy investigative practices, cognitive bias, and poor lawyering illustrates the weaknesses built into our current criminal justice system. Garrett proposes practical reforms that rely more on documented, recorded, and audited evidence, and less on fallible human memory. Very few crimes committed in the United States involve biological evidence that can be tested using DNA. How many unjust convictions are there that we will never discover? Convicting the Innocent makes a powerful case for systemic reforms to improve the accuracy of all criminal cases.
