What reading level is The Story of Crime From the Cradle to the Grave book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(Massett Case. ) MOTIVELESS CRIME 285 mind leaves but one alternative supposition namely, the existence of some form of insanity.
I will now refer to another case, which seems to me to be on " all fours " with the above. One of the most peculiar prisoners who ever sat in the dock of the Old Bailey was Mrs Pearcey, who, it will be remembered, was convicted of and exe- cuted for the murder of a woman named Hogg. Here again we have the curious neurotic creature, the frenzied and unreasoning slayin...g. There was no reason that she should have killed the woman with whose husband she was intriguing she could have gained nothing by it. She had free access to the man, who was a willing party to the guilty connection. It was not for plunder, for the poor woman had nothing with which to tempt the cupidity of anybody. These cases fill one with a vague misgiving. All through the case this woman's behaviour was most mysterious. While the police officers were searching her house, in the kitchen of which was the damning evidence of bloodstains, she was playing on the piano in the front room.
