The Perfect Crime #27
The issue contains two stories. "The Perfect Crime" depicts a bank robbery where masked bandits steal fifty-two thousand dollars, but the criminals turn on each other during the division of the loot, with one being shot and the others killed in a confrontation over the money. "The Bandits with My Face!" recounts how a bank president was robbed by masked men who resembled him, leading to his murder conviction until evidence eventually proved his innocence. The issue also includes editorial content discussing youth delinquency statistics and arguing that current juvenile crime rates, while concerning, are not necessarily worse than previous generations when population growth is factored in.
