RT Journal T1 CRimes of violence and revenge. JF Journal of the American Medical Association JO Journal of the American Medical Association YR 1929 FD September 21 VO 93 IS 12 SP 945 OP 945 DO 10.1001/jama.1929.02710120057041 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1929.02710120057041 AB The detective story still holds a high place with the reading public. Those who like their criminal literature more actual will find here an astounding record which makes some of the fictional works pale into insignificance. Here are accounts of wholesale murders thoughtfully planned which constitute case reports for the study of criminologists. Few of these accounts have medical interest aside from this feature, but for the physician who is somewhat of a psychologist they represent some hours of absorbing interest.
