About This Quote
Crime, once exposed, has no refuge but in audacity. Crime can't hide. It can't be hidden because crime is exposed. Once the crime has been exposed it has no place for hiding.
You can see the crime taking place. You can see what crime is doing to the victim, the victim's family and friends.
