AUTHOR’S NOTE

STAY OUT OF MY NIGHTMARE

The idea that poverty is a cause of crime is a lot of nonsense. It is one of those clichés that is accepted because it seems logical.

Crimes are committed by people who have some money and want more.

More often they are committed by somebody who wants to have money to flash around, to buy fancy clothes, or spend on women, drugs, or whiskey.

In proportion to their numbers, there are just as many poor people who are honest as there are rich people who are.

Dashiell Hammett once commented that he had never known a man capable of turning out first-rate work in a trade, profession, or art who was a professional criminal.

This may have been his experience, but there have been exceptions to that rule.
