Each profile details the crimes committed and the circumstances leading up to arrest and conviction. Thomas Byrnes is credited with popularizing the term 'rogues gallery,' and for both good and ill, according to the New York Times, Byrnes "shaped not just the New York City Detective Bureau, but the template for detective work...in every modern American metropolis." Also included are short, informative chapters on criminal methods, executions, and fugitives from justice, along with intriguing chapters on mysterious unsolved murders and adventurers, and a list of every prison and state penitentiary in America at the original time of publication."--Back cover. 650 0 $a Crime $z United States $v Case studies. $9 237322 650 0 $a Criminals $z United States $v Biography. $9 198806 650 0 $a Criminals $z United States $v Portraits. 650 0 $a Criminals $z United States $x Identification. 650 0 $a Identification photographs $z United States. 700 1 $a Decker, R.
