MAN CAN’T STOP MISBEHAVING: we’ve robbed, raged and rampaged; taking our hearts’ desire through stratagem, deceit and sheer opportunity, or else by threat, force and violence.
In this volume are stories of men who have stepped beyond the bounds of decency, and those caught in the nightmare of another’s making. Among them are civil servants who betrayed the public trust, men who abused their positions to prey on the very people they were supposed to protect, and an overseas student who woke up to the sight of his friends bloodied beyond recognition.
Some of these perpetrators were caught within days of their crime, while others quietly robbed and betrayed for years before their wrongdoing was uncovered, while yet another waited eight years for a ruling to be overturned. At the end of the day, crime doesn’t pay. But some will never learn.
