Notable quotes

“Society already understands that the criminal is not he who washes our dirty linen in public, but he who dirties the linen.”
— Vladimir Bukovsky (b.1932), Russian author. Stated on 5 January, 1972. Quoted in Radio Times magazine, 19 September, 1977.
“Crime is naught but misdirected energy. So long as every institution of today, economic, political, social, and moral, conspires to misdirect human energy into wrong channels; so long as most people are out of place doing the things they hate to do, living a life they loathe to live, crime will be inevitable, and all the laws on the statutes can only increase, but never do away with, crime.”
— Emma Goldman, "Anarchism, What it Really Stands For", Anarchism and Other Essays (1917).
“The prisoner is not the one who has committed a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.”
— Henry Miller, Sexus, chapter 14 (1949).
“A man who has no excuse for crime, is indeed defenceless!”
— Edward Bulwer-Lytton, The Lady of Lyons, Act IV, scene 1.
“Qui non vetat peccare, cum possit, jubet.”
— He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it.
“The chief problem in any community cursed with crime is not the punishment of the criminal, but the preventing of the young from being trained to crime.”
— W. E. B. Du Bois, reported in Robert D. Ramsey, Well Said, Well Spoken (Corwin Press, 2001), p. 30. .
