For the most part, you'll find the same ebooks at each virtual online ebook store, just differences in price. Happily, I found the Diesel eBook download store to be the exception to the rule. Not only did they have most of the titles I've found at other sites online, they had a nice selection I hadn't seen anywhere else, in particular, the complete collection of original Sherlock Holmes novels all in one compendium, and in Palm eReader format, just how I like.

Scooped!: Media Miss Real Story on Crime While Chasing Sex, Sleaze, and Celebrities
Krajicek, a former crime reporter, takes an unblinking look at his profession and the country's crime dilemma. He concludes that while journalists have increasingly focused on trivial sleaze, celebrity scandals, and gruesome but unrepresentative crimes, they have neglected a far more important crime story: the collapse of the American criminal justice system as a cost-efficient, equitable deterrent. He argues that crime trends and crime policy often have little to do with one another, so it is no wonder that Americans are confused and frightened about crime. Krajicek shows that tabloid distractions drew journalists away from the substantive reporting that could have given a more accurate account of crime during the past decade. Instead, stories about a 'society under siege' led to panic about lawlessness, and politicians -- playing their customary role -- stepped in with the usual 'solutions': more arrests, more prisons, longer sentences. "Scooped!" challenges each journalist -- from publisher to reporter -- to take responsibility for his work, and calls on the media to more closely examine crime policy and hold politicians responsible for legislation that doesn't work. President Johnson observed in 1965 that 'jobs, education, and hope' are the only realistic crime-control strategies. David J. Krajicek's provocative book provides the basis for rational discussion and responsible action.

CHAPTER ONE

Dancing with Trash in America the Violent

How do Americans form their opinions about crime? It seems to me there are three primary sources of information: personal anecdotes, the mass media, and politicians.

Everyone knows someone who has been a victim of a crime--a burglary, a car break-in, a mugging. These anecdot ... read full excerpt from: Scooped!: Media Miss Real Story on Crime While Chasing Sex, Sleaze, and Celebrities ebook
