Let's Not Discuss Crime In South Africa

Besides the international connection, Rattray also counted local business people amongst his friends.

India's Missing Children - Kidnapped, Forced into Prostitution or in Mafia-run Begging Gangs

India is the world's capital in its numbers of missing children, and within India, it is Mumbai that claims the greatest underworld of snatched and wandering children.

The Glencoe Massacre - Was It What It Seemed to Be?

The story of the Masscre of Glencoe in the highlands of Scotland has had a chilling impact over the centuries.
