10 Foolish Criminals Who Called The Police On Themselves

Some criminals are not very clever, and they spectacularly fail to pull off their crimes. We’ve certainly published a lot of stories about crazy criminals whose antics defy rational explanation.

But the criminals on this list take “stupid” to a whole new level. Each of them managed to find themselves in so much trouble that they needed to call the police for help.

10 Leland Ayala-Doliente And Holland Sward

In early 2015, Leland Ayala-Doliente and Holland Sward were driving from California to Montana with about 9 kilograms (20 lb) of marijuana in their car. As they crossed the Nevada-Idaho border, the pair became convinced that they were being followed by policemen in civilian cars. The duo grew paranoid, and they decided to pull over and call the police.

When the 911 dispatcher answered, Doliente told her, “Hi, uh, we’re the two dumbasses that got caught trying to bring some stuff through your border, and all your cops are just driving around us like a bunch of jack wagons, and I’d just like for you guys to end it.”

The dispatcher was bewildered as no police were following the young men. However, she noted their location and sent a police car to get them. The officers arrived to find the two men with their hands on their heads and the marijuana tied up in a garbage bag on the side of the road.

The pair was arrested, and both tested positive for marijuana. They were charged with felony drug trafficking. Sward was sentenced to 30 days in jail. However, Doliente—who tested positive for marijuana, cocaine, and oxycodone on his sentencing day—received one-and-a-half to eight years in prison. [1]

9 Rye Daniel Wardlaw

In mid-2018 in Vancouver, Washington, Rye Wardlaw broke into an escape room and grabbed a remote control, a smartphone, and a beer. Then Wardlaw sat down, drank the beer, and ate a burrito that he had brought with him. After he finished his breakfast, he tried to leave the room through the same door he had entered. However, he had broken the doorknob when he busted into the room, and the door would not open.

Wardlaw tried to get out of the escape room’s front door , but he couldn’t figure out how to open the lock. Fearing he was trapped, he started to panic. Wardlaw grabbed the business’s phone and dialed 911. He told the operator that he was calling from the escape room because his home was being burglarized.

While he was waiting for the police, Wardlaw managed to open the damaged door. He ran outside—right into the police officers. He was arrested and charged with second-degree burglary. [2]

8 Timothy James Chapek

In 2011, Timothy Chapek broke into a Portland woman’s home, went into her bathroom, and jumped in the shower. While he was bathing, he heard the homeowner return. Chapek feared that she owned guns , so he locked the bathroom door, grabbed his phone, and called the police. He confessed to breaking into the home and begged them to help him.

Hilary Mackenzie, the homeowner, heard Chapek’s voice, and she told her daughter to leave the house. Mackenzie called her two German shepherds to her, and the trio went to confront Chapek. She asked him, “Why are you in my house taking a shower?” He responded, “I broke in. I was kidnapped.” [3]

Mackenzie went outside and called the police. They arrived and arrested Chapek. Repeating his story, he claimed that a group of men had kidnapped him and put him in the bathroom. Police did not believe Chapek’s story, and he was charged with a misdemeanor for criminal trespassing.

7 Michael Lester

Having spent New Year’s Eve 2017 drinking and driving in Florida, Michael Lester decided to call 911 and turn himself in. He told the dispatcher that he had been driving drunk all night “trying to get pulled over.” He added that he was driving on the wrong side of the road and had no idea where he was.

The dispatcher urged him to pull over. So Lester decided to stop and find something to eat. He hung up on the dispatcher and parked his car in the middle of the road.

Officers quickly tracked Lester down and gave him a sobriety test, which he promptly failed. He told the policemen that he had drunk three or four beers, swallowed meth, and only slept four hours in the past four days. Lester was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, driving on the wrong side of the road, and driving without wearing a seat belt. [4]

6 Jesse Berube

A couple of weeks before Christmas 2017, Jesse Berube decided to rob Loree’s Little Shack, a California bar where he was a regular customer. Inspired by St. Nick, Berube choose to enter the business through the chimney. He sneaked onto the roof, slipped into the chimney’s opening—which was less than 46 centimeters (18 in) wide—and slowly slid down the flue.

Around halfway down, Berube hit a dead end. The pipe took a 90-degree corner, and it was impossible for Berube to follow it. He tried to climb out of the chimney , but he could barely move. Berube managed to wiggle just enough to reach his cell phone and call for help.

Firefighters arrived and used specialized equipment to free Berube. He emerged from the chimney covered in soot but physically uninjured. Police arrested him, and he was charged with one count of burglary. [5]

5 Triston Crossland And Derrick Dionno

In early 2016, an El Dorado County, California, police officer spotted Triston Crossland and Derrick Dionno’s car swerving on the road and he attempted to pull the pair over. However, Crossland, a parolee, and Dionno, who had four active warrants, had meth, heroin , marijuana, and a gun in the car. They knew they would go to jail if they were caught.

The men parked and jumped out of their car. They ran down a canyon, crossed an icy river , ran across the snow-covered ground, and disappeared into the woods. Several hours later, Crossland and Dionno ran into a Forest Service officer, who warned them that they might freeze to death, but the duo just ran and hid.

Hours passed, and the pair started to worry that they actually would freeze to death. They called 911 and begged to be rescued. A SWAT team found the men the next morning. They were suffering from hypothermia and probable frostbite. A policeman said of the pair, “I have never seen two people happier to go to jail.” [6]

They were charged with felons in possession, evasion of a peace officer, obstruction, and numerous narcotics charges.

4 Christopher Moore

In late 2012, Christopher Moore broke into the Gerows’ Springtown, Texas , home in the middle of the night and began to burglarize it. He sneaked into the master bedroom, grabbed a few things, and accidentally woke up James Gerow. Moore left the room while Gerow got out of bed. Gerow initially believed that the intruder was his son, but he noticed that his son was still asleep. He spotted Moore’s truck in his driveway, grabbed a handgun, and ran to confront the thief.

Gerow managed to chase Moore down and take his car keys. Moore dove inside his truck and hid while Gerow and his son held him at gunpoint. Moore frantically called the police and told them, “I’m out in the country somewhere. Some guy’s got a gun on me. He’s going to come shoot me.” [7]

Police came and arrested Moore. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven years of probation and 200 hours of community service.

3 Cody Bragg

Cody Bragg was driving through a Walmart parking lot in Canton, Ohio, in 2011 when he spotted a purse in a shopping cart. He pulled his hood over his head and slowly rolled forward. Bragg reached his hand out of the car window and snatched the handbag. The owner grabbed her purse, and Bragg dragged her several feet before she let go.

John Shuman had been watching Bragg and thought he looked suspicious. After Bragg stole the purse, Shuman decided to follow him. Shuman hopped in his snowplow, called 911, and chased Bragg for 30 minutes. [8]

Bragg eventually noticed what the snowplow driver was doing, so Bragg called 911 to report that he was being followed. He told the dispatcher that he must have been mistaken for the purse snatcher. The dispatcher told Bragg to go back to the parking lot, where he was arrested and charged with robbery and theft. Bragg was sentenced to nine years in prison .

2 John Finch

In early 2011, John Finch decided to break into a Delaware house that had been unoccupied since it was damaged in a storm . Finch had broken into the home once before, and he was certain that he could easily do so again.

He entered through a window in the house and headed straight for the liquor cabinet. Finch spent the next three days in a booze-filled stupor as he downed three bottles of gin and two bottles of whiskey.

After he had cleaned out the liquor cabinet, Finch decided to leave the house. He discovered that the homeowner had changed the locks since his last burglary. A key was now required to open the door—even from the inside. Finch was too drunk to deal with the locks or to climb out the window he had broken to get in.

So he called 911 for help. Officers arrived and spoke with him through a cracked window. They quickly realized that he was not the homeowner. Finch was taken to a hospital to sober up and then was charged with burglary. [9]

1 Edward Sanchez

In 2006, Michigan police officer Edward Sanchez took marijuana from a criminal suspect and hid it in his vehicle. After retrieving the pot from his car later that evening, he and his wife baked it into brownies. They ate the entire batch.

Sanchez, who had smoked pot before, had never eaten a pot brownie. He began to feel strange. He started to worry that the pot was laced with something, and he called 911. Sanchez told an emergency dispatcher that he thought he and his wife were overdosing on marijuana.

“I think we’re dying,” he said. “We made brownies and I think we’re dead, I really do.” He gave the dispatcher his address and repeatedly asked if the ambulance was coming. He told the dispatcher, “Time is going by really, really slow.” [10]

Later, Sanchez admitted that he had stolen drugs before, including cocaine that his wife had used for a three-week binge. Neither Sanchez nor his wife was charged with any crime. However, he did resign from the police department.

Here’s the Hilarious Inspiration Behind the ‘Abbott Elementary’/‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ Crossover

‘pulp fiction’ at 30: five of the movie’s funniest moments, 32 of the funniest tweets from monday, october 14, 2024, 12 random bits of trivia that are like a pop-culture charcuterie board, why ‘too carol burnett’ was the ultimate diss on early ‘saturday night live’, the 7 most gloriously stupid crimes ever attempted.

The world is fascinated by crime and the people who commit it. Way too much of our fiction, television, and cinema is about crime and how it's waged or fought, to the point that basically every person alive is an expert on police work, forensics, and criminal enterprise. In fact, deep down, every single one of us is pretty confident that we could get away with a crime if we had to .

This counts, although technically the real criminal was whoever gave the baby candy in the first place.

Crime seems so easy! A plan and a ski mask; what more do you need? Henry Hill wasn't wrong when he explained in Goodfellas , "Nobody goes to jail unless they want to. Unless they make themselves get caught."

19 Quirky Differences Around The World

26 actors who paid a terrible price for a role.

Is that really the only thing keeping the police in business? Are there actually criminals who want to be caught?

Yes. Yes there are. Here are seven of them.

7 The Man Who Tried to Cash a Check for $360 Billion

"One last big score" is a common trope in crime movies. A criminal who's tired of the game, but knows no other way of life. He has no appetite to make it on his own in the real, honest world. And so he pulls one last job with a payoff big enough to set himself up for life so he doesn't have to become, like, a fish salesman, or whatever people in the real world do.

Which brings us to Charles Ray Fuller, whose "last big score" was also apparently his "first, clumsy score," kind of the premature ejaculation of bank fraud. One bright spring day, Fuller decided to walk into his local bank and attempt to cash a check for $360 billion .

"Is it hot in here? It feels hot in here. Can someone please open a godforsaken window in here? "

The bank, curiously, suspected something was up and notified the police. But that's not the interesting part of this story. The interesting part is what was going through this guy's head when he walked into that bank? Did he think this small bank had $360 billion in cash on hand? Did he really understand how much money that actually was? He could have tipped the entire planet into recession if he'd pulled this off. But of course the answer is that nothing was going through his head when he tried this. By even daring to consider this stunt, our man Fuller demonstrated a pretty horrendous lack of understanding about how checks, banking, and possibly zeros work.

" Those are zeros? I thought those were little assholes."

6 The Shotgun Landscaper

This story is very close to being heartwarming, unlike some of the other items on this list. This isn't a crime of intent. This man wanted to do a nice thing -- to go get a sprig of mistletoe to decorate his house for the holidays. And although cynicism rules the day on the Internet, we should generally applaud and celebrate people who try to do nice things.

Except when they do those nice things with shotguns. We should applaud, yes, because niceeeeeee . But it is also our duty to mock those people.

People like Bill Robinson, who used his shotgun (which is not known as "the scalpel of the firearms world") to shoot a sprig of mistletoe down from a tree in a mall parking lot. This attracted the attention of the local constabulary, who we like to think had to scour their police code book for quite a while to come up with the right way to call this one in.

"We got a uh ... 2 ... 4 ... tree? Landscaping with a deadly weapon. Send ... an arborist, I guess?"

In Robinson's defense, he was kind of doing this off to the side of the mall parking lot and not, you know, by the little coin-operated spaceship that kids ride. And the thing was just loaded with bird shot, which wasn't going to do a ton of damage if it missed. And he didn't miss! He got that goddamned tree on the first try!

In his offense, he fired a shotgun in a mall parking lot.

That was kind of enough for the courts, it turned out.

5 The Drug Telemarketer

The Wire showed us that selling drugs can be a very complicated business, and that those who do it successfully operate with a very high degree of professionalism. Even at the street level, there are processes and procedures related to money handling and drug hand-offs that have to be strictly adhered to to limit exposure to rivals and police surveillance.

An example of one of those procedures: Don't call someone on the phone and offer to sell them drugs. That's called a narco no-no . And if you forget that because of some catastrophic head injury you've recently suffered, at least remember that if you call someone to sell them drugs and the person replies that you got the wrong number, do not offer to sell that person drugs.

For one thing, it's just rude. You could have interrupted that person's dinner.

Which is exactly what a teenage boy in Florida didn't remember when his wrong number connected him purely by chance to a police officer, whom he promptly attempted to sell drugs to.

Never interrupt a cop's dinner.

The police officer, to his credit, said "Sure," instead of laughing for 40 seconds, and shortly thereafter set up what must have been the world's easiest sting.

We kind of hope that to avoid getting up, he set the buy to go down on his own couch.

4 The Pornography Inspector

People who work in the retail and service sectors don't get a ton of respect. Which isn't really fair; although these are often entry level jobs, companies don't give control of their cash and inventory to just anyone. These positions require a fairly high level of responsibility and aren't staffed by complete idiots.

So a scheme that requires a video store clerk to have gerbil-like levels of cognition and savvy isn't likely to succeed, as Andrew Libby discovered in 2008 when he walked -- no, let's say sauntered -- into a video store and claimed that he worked for the state's "Age Verification Unit" and would need copies of pornography tapes to verify that the performers were of legal age . He even had a badge with him.

Artist's interpretation.

This, surprisingly, didn't work. And if Libby had walked away then, this would have gone down as little more than an amusing story that the store clerk shared with his friends. Except Libby came back. Two more times. Both times with the exact same story, delivered in what we hope was an increasingly pleading tone. At that point the video store employees apparently approached the police with surveillance footage of the mastermind at work. A brief survey of the local underworld later ...

"A slope-browed, ponytailed idiot? That's Andrew. You're looking for Andrew."

... the police had their slope-browed, ponytailed man.

3 The Man Who Robbed a Taekwondo Master in a Taekwondo Studio

Reconnaissance is an important part of the criminal process, necessary for the professional criminal to understand all the details in advance of his upcoming caper.

So ... is everything painted blue then?

The importance of preparation is made clear by examples of criminals who were a bit less organized in their caper planning.

Like the case of this future Moriarty, who attempted to burglarize a taekwondo studio . With a taekwondo master inside of it. Who was practicing taekwondo, interestingly enough.

And instead of being prepared for this, like with a platoon of ninjas at his back, or even just a couple of smoke bombs, our hapless criminal set his plan into motion armed only with his own frail neck . A weapon that the previously discussed taekwondo master easily neutralized with his previously discussed mastery of taekwondo.

Suggesting that our robber also forgot his Wu-Tang.

2 The Photobombing Bandit

Snatching purses isn't a complicated crime. It takes longer to say than it does to do, and with even the simplest precautions, like wearing fast shoes, it's pretty straightforward to get away with. It's made even easier when only unattended bags are stolen.

Aside from the ever-present risk that you just scooped up a terrorist device.

In general, then, purse snatching is all about choosing the right target. Like, just for example, a target who isn't pointing a camera at you as you steal their bag.

Which is exactly what one particular genius neglected to do when he was caught photobombing the victims of his bag thievery. The victims, a nice enough seeming family who maybe should be a little more careful of where they set their bags down when there are people with jean shorts in the area, were taking selfies on the steps of the Wisconsin State Capitol building when their bag went missing. A quick review of their camera revealed that they had captured an incriminating ( and highly unflattering ) image of the culprit. Within minutes, they'd contacted the police, who were quickly on the case.

Leading to the world's first ever "APB for jorts."

1 The Social Networking Burglar

Thanks to the never-ending onslaught of police procedural shows, everyone in the world now has a pretty good understanding of the basics of forensic evidence. Wear gloves, clean shoes, hats; there's no excuse anymore for conducting a crime that leaves behind evidence that can be tracked back to you. It's just one of the rules of the game.

Which brings us to Trevor Jones, who is apparently playing his own game .

While robbing a house in 2011, Jones parked his car in the driveway while he went inside to get a-robbin'. The legitimate resident of the home returned around then to find a strange car in the driveway and her door open, and perhaps wisely chose not to step inside. Instead, she looked inside the strange car in her driveway and took the keys and wallet that were apparently just sitting there in the car, because, you know, can't hold that when robbin' . And then she took off, taking with her all the evidence needed to blow this case wide open.

"I wonder ... I wonder if that driver's license might offer any clues? CHIEF! CHIEF! I GOT IT!"

Thankfully, for the sake of this story, this did not deter Trevor Jones. When he returned to his car with the stolen goods and realized his keys and wallet were missing, he did not give up. He so furiously did not give up , in fact, that his next move was to sprint straight into a nearby pond, because he is an awesome criminal . On the other side of the pond, he broke into another house, where he logged into Facebook, because who the fuck even cares anymore? And yes, when he sprinted out of that home, leaving behind puddles and Trevor Jones-shaped stains on the couch, of course he forgot to log out of Facebook. Of course he did.

The greatest part of this whole story is that, based on a cursory search of Google (we really tried hard for this one), it doesn't look like the police ever caught this guy! Which means that to this day, every single one of us is at risk of returning home to find a bunch of our stuff missing, "I am Trevor Jones" scribbled in lipstick on the walls, and a Trevor Jones-shaped hole in the wall of our house.

Being a criminal is certainly not an easy life, and, as a result, some people aren’t suited for a career of misdeeds. Most people avoid it because they have a strong moral compass, while others are drawn to or forced into this lifestyle, but are simply too stupid to pull off illegal acts successfully.

The latter group are the people that this article will focus on. These individuals attempted a life of crime, but their failed attempts taught them very quickly that it was’t their calling in life. Read ahead and amuse yourselves with the stories of 10 of the stupidest criminals of all time.

• Mganga Mganga
• Derrick Mosley
• Joey Miller and Matthew McNelly
• Klaus Schmidt
• James Blankenship
• Darren Kimpton
• Ruben Zarate
• Albert Bailey
• Dennis Hawkins

10. Mganga Mganga

On a sunny day in March, Mganga, a 17-year-old boy in Omaha, Nebraska, decided to stick a gun in the face of a woman who was taking her son to school, demanding that she give him her car. She, of course, obliged and the boy was about to take off when he realized the car had a manual transmission, which he was unable to drive. He tried to fumble around with the controls, but after moving the car only a matter of yards in a few minutes, he decided to bolt on foot, but was eventually caught by authorities.

9. Derrick Mosley

Planning is hugely important when trying to pull off a crime, and it essential to the success of the act that every detail be well thought through in advance. But Derrick Mosley didn’t place very high importance on these things before he decided to rob a gun store, armed with only a baseball bat. Seeing as it was a gun shop, the manager pulled a gun on the would-be robber and kept him in the crosshairs until authorities arrived.

8. Joey Miller and Matthew McNelly

These men were behind likely the worst and least thought out disguises in the history of crime. When committing their misdeed, they didn’t use the masks, hoods or balaclavas typical of most criminals, but instead chose to draw on their faces with permanent marker. While it may have made them hard to recognize during the crime, permanent marker is, as the name suggests, notoriously hard to remove, which left the men extremely easy to identify when the police were looking for the culprits. The dumb stunt earned the duo the nickname “dumb and dumber.”

7. Mark Smith

Breaking into homes can be tiring work, but most criminals are smart enough to wait until they get home before taking a nap. Not Mark Smith, though. In 2007, Smith (who was high on Valium and drunk on vodka) decided to break into a home and, since he was likely feeling the effects of the drugs and alcohol he had consumed, curl up for a nap in the homeowner’s bed. He was woken up by the local police and sentenced to 18 months.

6. Klaus Schmidt

In August of 1995, a man in Berlin decided to rob a bank with a handgun. Now, this acted out like a pretty standard bank robbery until the tellers asked him “Do you need a bag?,” to which Schmidt responded “You’re damn right it’s a real gun!” This made it obvious to the tellers that the robber was deaf. With this new realization, they sounded the alarm which notified the police, while Schmidt was none the wiser. In a funny twist, Schmidt later sued the bank for apparently abusing his disability.

5. James Blankenship

While attempting to break into and rob his own mother’s home during broad daylight, James Blankenship got spooked and went to hide in the crawl space. When apprehended by police, Blankenship was extremely stunned because he didn’t think it was possible to be arrested for burglary during the day. That’s right; this guy thought he couldn’t be arrested for burglary because it wasn’t nighttime.

4. Darren Kimpton

One of the keys to success when completing a burglary is to pick the right target. The best target is likely an empty house, while pretty much the worst possible target would be a house full of police officers. Well, the latter is exactly what Darren Kimpton decided to choose. The house he has selected as his target was already burgled earlier in the evening, and thus police officers were already on the scene when Kimpton tried to break in. Also, Kimpton tried to rob a separate house earlier in the day, but cut himself and fled. However, he left a trail of blood at the scene and could therefore be identified in that crime too.

3. Ruben Zarate

In 2008, an 18-year-old man named Ruben Zarate attempted to rob a muffler shop in Chicago. After demanding money, he was told that most of the cash was stored in a safe that could only be opened by the manager, who wasn’t scheduled to come in until a few hours later. To have himself some trouble, Zarate left his cell phone number for the store to call him back once the manager arrived. Of course, the store first called the police and then called Zarate back. When he came back and noticed the police were waiting for him, he engaged in a brief shootout with the cops before eventually being arrested.

2. Albert Bailey

In 2010, Bailey and an unnamed juvenile accomplice decided to rob a bank in Fairfield, Connecticut. But in an attempt to speed up the process of the crime, Bailey called the bank in advance to let them know that they were coming to rob it. His obvious intent was to give the bank plenty of time to get the money ready so he could just pick it up and leave quickly. Of course, the bank decided to call the authorities and notify them of the robbers’ arrival and the two men were arrested by police without incident.

1. Dennis Hawkins

The stupidest criminal out has got to be Dennis Hawkins, a 48-year-old man who tried to rob a bank in Pittsburgh. Hawkins clearly didn’t get the memo about needing a good disguise that can quickly blend into the crowd after the crime, as he chose a woman’s blonde wig, fake breasts and bright clown pants. Even worse still, in his failed attempt to pretend to be a woman, he didn’t even take the time to shave his facial hair. As if the man wasn’t noticeable enough, he drew even more attention to himself when he tried to steal a car from a nearby gas station, where the attendant called then called the police, who apprehended Hawkins soon after.

How does the foolish crime?  

Insight from top 5 papers.

The concept of "foolish crime" can be understood through various lenses, particularly in the context of media influence and corporate behavior. Research indicates that crime dramas significantly shape public perceptions of crime and the criminal justice system, often leading to misconceptions about the efficacy of law enforcement [1] . These portrayals can foster a sense of overconfidence in the justice system, potentially trivializing the seriousness of real criminal acts.

Media Influence on Crime Perception

• Crime Dramas and Public Confidence : Viewers of crime dramas often exhibit increased confidence in the criminal justice system, believing that crimes are easily solved [1] .
• Fear and Misconceptions : Nonfiction crime programming can heighten fear of victimization, while fictional portrayals may lead to unrealistic expectations about crime resolution [1] .

Corporate Recklessness

• Reckless Crimes in Business : The phenomenon of reckless crimes, particularly in corporate settings, highlights how individuals may engage in harmful behaviors under social pressures or cultural norms that prioritize profit over ethics [5] .
• Cultural Dynamics : Corporate cultures can normalize unethical behavior, leading to widespread misconduct, as seen in high-profile cases like Enron [4] .

While media representations can trivialize crime, the underlying societal and corporate dynamics reveal a more complex interplay of factors that contribute to reckless and foolish criminal behavior.

The evaluation of mainstream society is crucial in defining "foolishness" due to the societal norms and expectations that shape the perception of individuals deviating from the accepted standards. Fools, as a social type, represent departures from group norms and are subject to ridicule as a means of enforcing propriety and adjusting status . Additionally, historical texts like those by Paracelsus, Felix Platter, and Thomas Willis describe individuals who relate problematically to their world, possibly early depictions of intellectual disability, highlighting the evolving understanding of such concepts across different periods . Evaluation mainstreaming, as seen in the World Bank example, plays a role in organizational adaptation and accountability, emphasizing the importance of drawing lessons and encouraging institutional learning within society .

Society perceives foolish behavior in individuals through the lens of social norms and expectations, often subjecting such behavior to ridicule and ridicule, as highlighted by Klapp . Additionally, foolishness is linked to self-awareness and metacognition, where individuals engaging in such behavior are aware of its foolish nature but continue due to motivational factors, as discussed by Markovic . Furthermore, mental health stigma plays a role in how society views behaviors that deviate from the norm, potentially labeling them as foolish and creating barriers to seeking treatment, as noted by Ahmedani . Understanding the perception of foolish behavior involves a complex interplay of societal norms, self-awareness, and stigma, shaping how individuals are judged and treated based on their actions.

To avoid being robbed, people commonly take several precautions. They report any suspicious persons or activities/incidents, no matter how minor . They also report losses or theft immediately . Locking and securing all windows and doors in their dorm or home is another common practice . Photocopying important documents and keeping them in a secure place is advised . People also lock their cars and store valuables in the trunk . They avoid loaning keys to anyone and have their keys ready when approaching their dorm or vehicle . Marking or engraving belongings and never leaving valuables unattended is another precautionary measure . Installing tracking software on computers and using locking cable devices is recommended . Traveling and parking in well-lit areas at night, and traveling in pairs or groups, are common safety practices . Being cautious about letting unknown individuals into their dorm or building is also advised . Knowing all fire escape routes in buildings is important for safety .

People often take various measures to avoid being robbed. One approach is to use anti-robbing devices such as an anti-robbing leather bag, which has a mechanism that separates the bag from the shoulder belt when a robber tries to snatch it . Another method is to improve authentication systems to protect personal information and prevent unauthorized access. However, finding a perfect locking mechanism or password replacement has proven challenging . In the physical world, locks on doors provide an acceptable measure of security despite their imperfections, suggesting that unrealistic expectations for perfect security in the virtual world should be suspended . Additionally, securable hanging baskets with locking devices can be used to prevent theft . Furthermore, fraud prevention systems can utilize electronic signals from anti-lock braking systems to detect and prevent fraudulent activities . Finally, a preventing device with a sensor system and warning vibration can be used to deter pick-pocketing and robbery .

According to the economists, the answer to the question of who is stupid is not explicitly mentioned in the abstracts provided.

The phaco incision technique significantly influences post-operative visual outcomes in cataract patients, with variations in incision size and method affecting recovery and astigmatism. Research indicates that phacoemulsification generally yields better initial visual acuity compared to manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS), although both techniques ultimately provide satisfactory outcomes. ## Visual Acuity Outcomes - Phacoemulsification patients often achieve better uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) on the first post-operative day, with studies showing 74% achieving UCVA of 6/18 or better compared to 58.5% in the MSICS group. - At six weeks, 95% of phacoemulsification patients had UCVA of 6/18 or better, while 83.5% of MSICS patients achieved similar results, indicating a slight edge for phacoemulsification. ## Surgically Induced Astigmatism - Phacoemulsification is associated with less surgically induced astigmatism (SIA), with studies reporting a significant difference in SIA between the two methods. - The developed single tunnel incision technique in phacoemulsification resulted in a decrease in SIA by 0.13 diopters, enhancing visual outcomes. In contrast, while MSICS is effective and cost-efficient, it may lead to higher SIA and slightly delayed visual recovery, making phacoemulsification the preferred choice for optimal visual outcomes in cataract surgery.

C-reactive protein (CRP) plays a crucial role in the immune response to bacterial infections, acting as a key acute-phase protein that enhances host defense mechanisms. Its multifaceted functions include opsonization, complement activation, and modulation of inflammation. ## Mechanisms of Action - **Opsonization and Phagocytosis**: CRP enhances the ability of phagocytes to engulf bacteria by binding to phosphocholine on bacterial surfaces, facilitating their recognition and clearance. - **Complement Activation**: CRP activates the classical complement pathway, which is vital for opsonization and lysis of pathogens. - **Inflammatory Response**: It regulates cytokine production and chemotaxis, influencing the recruitment of immune cells to infection sites. ## Diagnostic and Prognostic Value CRP levels serve as a reliable biomarker for assessing the severity of bacterial infections. Elevated CRP levels correlate with inflammation and can indicate the effectiveness of treatment. While CRP is essential for combating bacterial infections, its role can vary across species, with evolutionary adaptations observed in different organisms, from invertebrates to mammals. This highlights the protein's fundamental importance in innate immunity across the animal kingdom.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly influences the expression and function of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) GAS5, impacting cancer development and progression. GAS5 acts as a tumor suppressor in various cancers, but its role can vary depending on the specific cancer type and the surrounding microenvironment. The following sections explore how the TME modulates GAS5's expression and function in cancer. ## Immune Cell Infiltration and Signaling Pathways - In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), GAS5 facilitates immune cell infiltration by stabilizing p53 through interaction with MYBBP1A, enhancing p53-mediated transcription of IRF1, and activating type I interferon signaling. This process increases the production of chemokines like CXCL10 and CCL5, promoting macrophage and T cell recruitment, which correlates with improved immunotherapy efficacy. - GAS5's role in immune modulation is further supported by its ability to interact with miRNAs and proteins, affecting signaling pathways that regulate immune cell function, autophagy, and oxidative stress. ## Molecular Pathways and Cancer Suppression - In gastric cancer, GAS5 acts as a tumor suppressor by targeting E2F1, a transcription factor that inhibits miR-34c expression. GAS5 positively regulates miR-34c, which is crucial for inhibiting cancer cell proliferation through the ATM/p38 MAPK signaling pathway, independent of p53 . - GAS5's tumor-suppressive functions are also linked to its role as a host gene for small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), which methylate ribosomal RNA, further inhibiting tumor progression. ## Epigenetic Regulation and Cancer Progression - In nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), GAS5 is upregulated and associated with poor prognosis. It promotes cancer progression by epigenetically silencing PTEN through recruitment of EZH2, a histone methyltransferase. This silencing enhances proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells. While GAS5 generally acts as a tumor suppressor, its expression and function can be context-dependent, influenced by the specific TME and cancer type. In some cases, like NPC, GAS5 may facilitate cancer progression, highlighting the complexity of its role in cancer biology. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing targeted therapies that modulate GAS5's activity in the TME.

Ethical leadership plays a pivotal role in shaping decision-making processes in marine conservation and sustainability initiatives in Cameroon. By fostering an inclusive and values-driven approach, ethical leaders can enhance governance structures that prioritize environmental stewardship and social equity. ## Influence on Governance - Ethical leadership promotes sustainable governance by emphasizing transparency, diversity, and long-term vision, which are essential for effective decision-making in conservation efforts. - Leaders can build trust among stakeholders, facilitating collaboration and addressing fragmentation in marine governance, which is crucial for successful initiatives. ## Ethical Decision-Making Tools - The application of ethical decision-making tools, such as the ethical matrix and decision trees, aids leaders in navigating complex conservation scenarios, ensuring that decisions reflect ethical considerations across environmental, social, and economic dimensions. ## Leadership Styles - Transformational leadership, closely linked to ethical principles, encourages leaders to inspire and mobilize communities towards sustainable practices, thereby enhancing collective action in conservation efforts. While ethical leadership significantly influences positive outcomes in marine conservation, challenges such as institutional inertia and resistance to change can hinder progress, necessitating ongoing efforts to cultivate ethical practices within leadership frameworks.

Alcohol and Crime

Abuse of alcohol can make people more likely to commit crimes, such as murder or assault, by lowering their inhibitions and making them less judgmental. Consequently, an intoxicated person has a higher risk of causing bodily and psychological harm to both oneself and other people. To ensure public safety, being intoxicated under specific conditions is illegal in every jurisdiction in the United States.

Can the Police Reduce Crime?

Although studies have generally found that police have little effect on crime, focused patrols still have a significant impact in particular circumstances. Most expectations of the police’s role in reducing crime are based on the deterrence theory. This theory holds that the mere prospect of punishment modifies the behavior of potential criminals and eventually lowers the overall rate of crime in society.

Can Criminals Be Rehabilitated?

With the advent of social science research on criminal conduct, the notion that all prisoners would revert to their natural goodness after being freed from society’s pernicious effects gave way to harsher kinds of treatment. Research gave reformers more insight into deviance and revealed more effective methods for dealing with it. Rehabilitation became a science that focuses on giving ex-offenders the attitudes and abilities they need to live lawfully. Currently, the debate about the need for criminal rehabilitation is still ongoing.

Is Predictive Policing Effective?

Predictive policing analyzes historical and current data using sophisticated algorithms and other technology to prevent crime. Many first see these developments as proof that technology is being utilized to further justice. On the other hand, many people are worried about how proactive policing may affect privacy and security in America going forward.

Gender and Crime

“Why do women commit much less crime than men?” is the question that’s still unsolved. Nevertheless, it remains a fact in nearly every community throughout history. Another exciting aspect of gender intersecting with crime is that men are more likely than women to be victims of violent crime.

Relationship between Poverty and Crime

It’s often suspected that need forces one to steal. However, this is not a universal truth. Crime rates among impoverished communities differ depending on ethnicity or nationality. It’s also believed that violent crime is more likely to be caused by interpersonal conflict than by the need to steal.

Racial Discrimination Through Hate Crime

The connection between race and crime is one of the biggest discussions. According to research, the reasons behind racial gaps in crime are socioeconomic position, poverty, and early exposure to violent conduct. However, police tactics that include racial profiling and in-group prejudice can lead to an abnormally high percentage of racial minorities becoming the target of criminal accusations.

There is no one set of standards for making an excellent research question. Priorities and criteria vary throughout fields. An excellent research question for a true crime paper requires a unique approach. But don’t worry. Here are the recommendations that will help you:

• Your research’s objective should be clear to you. The issue you’re looking into should make it apparent what you will write about and what sources you’ll use.
• It shouldn’t be too narrow or too broad. A suitable scope for the query should be specified, but not to the point where you can cover it in one sentence. In addition, if the question is too general, responding to it with a limited word count won’t be feasible.
• It’s not too simple or too complex to respond. A yes or no response alone shouldn’t be the only requirement for the research question.
• It should have enough sources. You’ll need to deepen your knowledge on the matter for research. It’s best if there are many arguments, facts, and evidence.

Here are the examples of a good research question on true crime:

• What’s the role of villains in the true crime genre?
• How did true crime become ingrained in popular culture?
• What issues are addressed in the true crime genre?
• Can Genetics Cause Crime?
