The editors who brought a delectable (and best-selling) spin to America's notorious crimes now take in the nefarious deeds of the whole wide world. We travel deep down under and revisit the case of the Australian outlaw Ned Kelly. We roam the alleyways of Victorian London in search of Jack the Ripper (maybe we've figured out who he was?). We recount the awful and centuries-long career of the Indian Thugz, bandits who gave the world a term. We look at small crimes and the very largest: The murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by the Serbian organization the Black Hand launched World War I, causing the death of millions. We chart the rise of the Sicilian Mafia, which so influenced crime in America during the 20th century. Crime is not fun, but on the page-and in the hands of LIFE-it can be fascinating.
