1. Capital Punishment
2. Shoplifting
3. Crime Prevention
4. Kidnapping
5. Frightening Changes
6. Long-Term Effect
7. Virtual Crime
8. Guilty or Not Guilty?

A. The presumption of innocence is a legal right that the accused in criminal trials has in many modern countries. The burden of proof is thus on the prosecution. It has to collect and present enough compelling evidence to convince the jury of the fact that beyond a reasonable doubt the accused has broken the law. In case of remaining doubts, the accused is to be acquitted.

B. Sarah and Lisa always enjoyed hanging out at the mall. But one Saturday, after shopping for jeans, Sarah pulled a new shirt out of her bag. Lisa didn’t remember seeing her buy it. ‘I didn’t,’ Sarah told her. ‘I lifted it.’ Lisa was upset and puzzled. Stealing didn’t seem like something Sarah would do. Sometimes people do not realize the consequences of this crime.

C. Even families living in so-called ‘safe’ neighbourhoods are concerned. They may feel safe today, but there is always a reminder that violence can intrude at any moment. Polly Klaas and her family no doubt felt safe in Petaluma, California. But on October 1, 1993, she was abducted from her suburban home during a sleepover. If she can be abducted and murdered, so can nearly any other child.

D. The Internet is a great place to find information, make friends, keep in touch with others, and do business. There always are other sides as long as there is a criminal element. As our world becomes more computerized and ever more interconnected, different kinds of computer crimes will continue to grow. These include break-ins of computers to get trade secrets or illegal entry for the thrill and challenge.

E. Movie violence these days is louder and bloodier than ever before. When a bad guy was shot in a black-and-white Western, the most we saw was a puff of smoke and a few drops of fake blood. Now the sights, sounds, and special effects often jar us more than the real thing. Slow motion and pyrotechnics conspire to make movies and TV shows more gruesome than ever.

F. University of Illinois psychologist Leonard Eron studied children at age eight and then again at eighteen. He found that television habits established at the age of eight influenced aggressive behaviour through childhood and adolescent years. The more violent were the programs preferred by boys in the third grade, the more aggressive was their behaviour, both at that time and ten years later.

G. In the debate about execution and human dignity, supporters and opponents of the death penalty have found very little common ground. Since the 18th century, those who wish to abolish the death penalty have stressed the significance of requiring governments to recognize the importance of each individual. However, supporters of this penal practice see nothing wrong with governments deliberately killing terrible people who commit terrible crimes.

The Criminal They Can’t Lock Up

Burgar,

free for the 33rd time yesterday.

Two hours

says,  are too young to be locked up.

Youngsters
aged between 12 and 15 who repeatedly 1………
crimes will be held in ten new “secure training centres” for up two years.

The
14-year-old, in 2……….. yesterday, was responsible for
a mini crime wave near his home totaling $58,000. As he was being released, his
worried mother said: “I really thought he would have been locked away.
I’m worried that he’ll be out 3……….. it again before the week’s
out”.

Her son
had stolen clothes worth $ 28,000 and dropped into the same branch
of one particular shop three times in one week. He played with the laces (
шнурки) of his $ 100 trainers as the
court heard he had also 4……….. his local chemist’s at least six
times.

Before one
raid a shop assistant was even handed his “calling card”
marked with his initials and advising: “Ring the police”.

The boy,
who cannot be identified for law reasons, 5………..
seven charges of burglary and asked for another 24 to be taken into 6………

The court
heard he was too young to be remanded in custody and that there was no place
for him in secure accommodation.

The boy’s
mother added after the trial: “I just find it astonishing that nowhere can be
found for him. I’ve warned him he’s living on borrowed time. I’ve tried – but I
can’t 7……….. him”.

TREATMENT OF CRIMINALS

Подберите к каждому разделу текста заголовок из списка, приведенного ниже:

· Rehabilitative programs

· Psychiatric and case-study methods

· Bentham approach

· Neoclassical school

· Preventive approach

(1) Various correctional approaches developed in the wake of causation theories. The old theological and moralistic theories encouraged punishment asretribution by society for evil. This attitude, indeed, still exists. The 19th-century British jurist and philosopher Jeremy Bentham tried to make the punishment more precisely fit the crime. Bentham believed that pleasure could be measured against pain in all areas of human choice and conduct and that human happiness could be attained through such hedonic calculus. He argued that criminals would be deterred from crime if they knew, specifically, the suffering they would experience if caught. Bentham therefore urged definite, inflexible penalties for each class of crime; the pain of the penalty would outweigh only slightly the pleasure of success in crime; it would exceed it sufficiently to act as a deterrent, but not so much as to amount to wanton cruelty. This so-called calculus of pleasures and pains was based on psychological postulates no longer accepted.

(2)The Bentham approach was in part superseded in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by a movement known as the neoclassical school. This school, rejecting fixed punishments, proposed that sentences vary with the particular circumstances of a crime, such as the age, intellectual level, and emotional state of the offender; the motives and other conditions that may have incited to crime; and the offender’s past record and chances of rehabilitation.The influence of the neoclassical school led to the development of such concepts as grades of crime and punishment, indeterminate sentences, and the limited responsibility of young or mentally deficient offenders.

(3)At about the same time, the so-called Italian school stressed measures for preventing crime rather than punishing it. Members of this school argued that individuals are shaped by forces beyond their control and therefore cannot be held fully responsible for their crimes. They urged birth control, censorship of pornographic literature, and other actions designed to mitigate the influences contributing to crime. The Italian school has had a lasting influence on the thinking of present-day criminologists.

(4)The modern approach to thetreatment of criminals owes most to psychiatric and case-study methods. Much continues to be learned from offenders who have been placed on probation or parole and whose behavior, both in and out of prison, has been studied intensively. The contemporary scientific attitude is that criminals are individual personalities and that their rehabilitation can be brought about only through individual treatment. Increased juvenile crime has aroused public concern and has stimulated study of the emotional disturbances thatfoster delinquency. This growing understanding of delinquency has contributed to the understanding of criminals of all ages.

(5)During recent years, crime has been under attack from many directions. The treatment and rehabilitation of criminals has improved in many areas. The emotional problems of convicts have been studied and efforts have been made to help such offenders. Much, however, remains to be done. Parole boards have engaged persons trained in psychology and social work to help convicts on parole or probation adjust to society. Various states have agencies with programs of reform and rehabilitation for both adultand juvenile offenders.

Many communities have initiated concerted attacks on the conditions that breed crime. Criminologists recognize that both adult and juvenile crime stem chiefly from the breakdown of traditional social norms and controls, resulting from industrialization, urbanization, increasing physical and social mobility, and the effects of economic crises and wars. Most criminologists believe that effective crime prevention requires community agencies and programs to provide the guidance and control performed, ideally and traditionally, by the family and by the force of social custom. Although the crime rate has not drastically diminished as a result of these efforts, it is hoped that the extension and improvement of all valid approaches to prevention of crime eventually will reduce its incidence.

Crime of Passion

Bernard Lewis, a thirty-six-old man, while preparing dinner became involved in an argument with his drunken wife. In a fit of a rage Lewis, using the kitchen knife with which he had been preparing the meal, stabbed and killed his wife. He immediately called for assistance, and readily confessed when the first patrolman appeared on the scene with the ambulance attendant. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter. The probation department’s investigation indicated that Lewis was a rigid individual who never drank, worked regularly, and had no previous criminal record. His thirty-year-old deceased wife, and mother of three children, was a”fine girl” when sober but was frequently drunk and on a number of occasions when intoxicated had left their small children unattended. After due consideration of the background of the offence and especially of the plight of the three motherless youngsters, the judge placed Lewis on probation so that he could work, support and take care of the children. On probation Lewis adjusted well, worked regularly, appeared to be devoted to the children, and a few years later was discharged as “improved” from probation.

Murder

In 1952 two London youths decided to rob a dairy. They were Christopher Craig, aged 16, and Derek William Bentley, 19. During the robbery they were disturbed by Sydney Miles, a policeman. Craig produced a gun and killed the policeman. At that time Britain still had the death penalty for certain types of murder, including murder during a robbery. Because Craig was under 18, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Bently who had never touched the gun, was over 18. He was hanged in 1953. The case was quoted by opponents of capital punishment, which was abolished in 1965.

Shop-lifting

In June 2002 Lady Isabel Barnett, a well-known TV personality was convicted of stealing a tin of tuna fish and a carton of cream, total value 87p, from a small shop. The case was given enormous publicity. She was fined 75 pounds and had to pay 200 pounds towards the cost of the case. A few days later she killed herself.

Bank Robbery

Klaus Schmidt, 41, burst into a bank in Berlin, Germany, waved a pistol, and screamed, “Hand over the money!” The staff asked if he wanted a bag, to which he replied, “Damn right it’s a real gun!” Guessing Schmidt was deaf, the manager set off the alarm, saying later, “It was ridiculously loud, but he didn’t seem to notice.” After five minutes, punctuated by Schmidt’s occasionally shouting, “I am a trained killer!” police arrived and arrested him. Schmidt then sued the bank, accusing them of exploiting his disability.

Bizarre Charges

An American woman was treated by a psychiatrist, became romantically involved with him, and subsequently married him. After more than five years of marriage they divorced, at which time the woman sued her ex-husband for psychiatric malpractice and negligence claiming that the romantic or sexual relationship between them started before the formal psychiatric treatment ended. She contended that her ex-husband had breached the standard of care as a psychiatrist by becoming romantically involved with her, and sought punitive damages. The court rejected her claim.

Capital punishment

Capital punishment is a legal infliction of the death penalty, in modern law, corporal punishment in its most severe form. The usual alternative to the death penalty is long-term or life imprisonment.

The earliest historical records contain evidence of capital punishment. It was mentioned in the Code of Hammurabi. The Bible prescribed death as the penalty for more than 30 different crimes, ranging from murder to fornication. The Draconian Code of ancient Greece imposed capital punishment for every offence.

In England, during the reign of William the Conqueror, the death penalty was not used. By the end of the 15th century, English law recognized six major crimes :treason, murder, larceny, burglary, rape, and arson. In early American colonies the death penalty was commonly authorized for a wide variety of crimes.

The abolition of capital punishment in England in November 1965 was welcomed by most people with humane and progressive ideas. To them it seemed a departure from feudalism, from the cruel pre-Christian spirit of revenge: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Many of these people think differently now. Since the abolition of capital punishment crime – and especially murder – has been on increase throughout Britain.

The classic moral arguments in favor of the death penalty have been biblical and call for retribution. DEFENDERS of capital punishment have also claimed that society has the right to kill in self-defense.

OPPONENTS have replied that the death penalty can be the result of a mistake in practice and that it is impossible to administer fairly.

UNIT 12

Criminal punishment of persons who have committed crimes is one of the forms of state fight against crime. Any criminal punishment is always a restriction of the rights of convicted persons. This restriction is a sort of retribution for the crime a person committed. If a person is convicted, the court decides on the most appropriate sentence. The facts of the offence, the circumstances of the offender, his/her previous convictions are taken into account. The more serious an offence is, the stricter a penalty should be.

But in any case, the responsibility of the court is to impose an exact and just punishment relevant to the gravity of a crime. The more just the punishment is, the greater is the possibility of a person’s reformation. The defense lawyer may make a speech in mitigation on behalf of the offender.

There are the following basic penalties: deprivation of liberty — imprisonment for a certain period of time or life imprisonment, exile, fines or public censure. Capital punishment is usually used only as an exceptional measure when an especially grave crime was committed. The list of such crimes is not long and it is strictly determined by law. There are quite a lot of countries where death penalty prohibited.

5. Teacher: Read the sentences and then use the words in bold to complete
the sentences below.

Capital punishment is punishment by death. Techniques include the electric chair,
the gas chamber, hanging and lethal injection.

Some people believe that capital punishment acts as a deterrent. This means they
think it stops people committing murder.

The serial killer was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The police think I committed the burglary! I’m going to have to get a lawyer/solicitor.

She was arrested on suspicion of fraud, and later was officially charged with
the crime.

The court case lasted for three months before the jury found him guilty.

Judge: How do you plead?

The accused: Guilty, your Honour.

The jury found him not guilty, but nobody really thinks he is innocent.

There is lots of evidence that he did it –his fingerprints were all over the
gun, for example.

Having served 15 years in prison, Mason is to be released next week.

  1. My lawyer advised me to……guilty, but I’m not going to. I’m innocent!

6. Развитие навыков поискового
чтения (с общим пониманием)

Match the headlines A-H with Texts 1-7.One headline is extra.

A. Capital Punishment

B. Shoplifting

C. Crime Prevention

D. Kidnapping

E. Frightening Changes

F. Long-Term Effect

G. Virtual Crime

Y. Guilty or not Guilty?

  1. The presumption of innocence is a legal right that the accused in criminal trials has in
    many modern countries. The burden of proof is thus on the prosecution. It has to collect
    and present enough compelling evidence to convince the jury of the fact that beyond a
    reasonable doubt the accused has broken the law. In case of remaining doubts, the accused
    is to be acquitted.
  2. Sarah and Lisa always enjoyed hanging out at the mall. But one Saturday, after shopping
    for jeans, Sarah pulled a new shirt out of her bag. Lisa didn’t remember seeing her buy
    it. “I didn’t,” Sarah told her. “I lifted it.” Lisa was upset and puzzled.
    Stealing didn’t seem like something Sarah would do. Sometimes people do not realize the
    consequences of this crime.
  3. Even families living in so-called “safe” neighborhoods are concerned. They may feel
    safe today, but there is always a reminder that violence can intrude at any moment. Polly
    Klaas and her family no doubt felt safe in Petaluma, California. But on October 1, 1993,
    she was abducted from her suburban home during a sleepover. If she can be abducted and
    murdered, so can nearly any other child.
  4. The Internet is a great place to find information, make friends, keep in touch with
    others, and do business. There always are other sides as long as there is a criminal
    element. As our world becomes more computerized and ever more interconnected, different
    kinds of computer crimes will continue to grow. These include break-ins of computers to
    get trade secrets or illegal entry for the thrill and challenge.
  5. Movie violence these days is louder and bloodier than ever before. When a bad guy was
    shot in a black-and-white Western, the most we saw was a puff of smoke and a few drops of
    fake blood. Now the sights, sounds, and special effects often jar us more than the real
    thing. Slow motion and pyrotechnics conspire to make movies and TV shows more gruesome
    than ever.
  6. University of Illinois psychologist Leonard Eron studied children at age eight and then
    again at eighteen. He found that television habits established at the age of eight
    influenced aggressive behavior through childhood and adolescent years. The more violent
    were the programs preferred by boys in the third grade, the more aggressive was their
    behavior, both at that time and ten years later.
  7. In the debate about execution and human dignity, supporters and opponents of the death
    penalty have found very little common ground. Since the 18th century, those who
    wish to abolish the death penalty have stressed the significance of requiring governments
    to recognize the importance of each individual. However, supporters of this penal practice
    see nothing wrong with governments deliberately killing terrible people who commit
    terrible crimes.

    been executed.
  7. Firstly, it is said that capital punishment sends a message to society that murder will
    not be tolerated, but it also clearly sends the message that is acceptable in certain
    circumstances.

Appendix Text for reading. Task № 9

Corruption

Sharon had marched up to my desk, obviously furious, and demanded “a word outside”.
At that moment I was just curious to find out what had bothered her so much. I followed
her outside. “I’ve just paid a little visit to our old friend Fat Mickey,” she said,
“to put some pressure on him about last year’s Renfrew robbery, and he says you took
some cash to “lose” some evidence. Well?

If I’d known what was coming. I could have reacted better, but I’d been caught
completely off guard and I knew it showed. “It’s a lie,” I said, as coolly as I
could. “He’s a criminal and will say anything.” I hoped I sounded convincing but she
was looking straight at me with her sharp blue eyes and I left like a schoolboy in trouble
with the headmaster. I leaned back against the wall trying to look like I didn’t have a
care in the world, despite the fact that I was having difficulty breathing and I could
feel the beads of sweat gathering on my forehead.

Sharon was a woman I’d always admired. A tough detective and a very good one, too. It
wasn’t easy for a woman to make it as a detective and earn the respect of all her
colleagues. But it hadn’t been easy for me either, a boy from the poorest area in
Glasgow. I was a good detective, one of the best, in fact, and I’d only ever made one
mistake – taking money from Mickey. It had been just after I had split up with my wife
and I was badly in debt. I had never done anything like it before and I never intended to
do it again.

Now, as Sharon confronted me, I felt small, ugly and very guilty. I also felt

annoyed with her at the moment. What made her so perfect? Had she never put a foot
wrong anywhere? Ever? My mind raced as I tried to decide what to do. Should I tell the
truth, explain what had happened and hope she’d take my side? Or should I just brush off
the accusation and pray she didn’t tell anyone? I had no idea if this conversation could
finish off my promising career as a police officer or not.

At the end of the day it would all come down to my word against Mickey’s and he was
just a cheap criminal. But I didn’t want people whispering behind my back, wondering if
it were true, whether I really was a corrupt officer off the law. If word goes out, this
would always be on my record. Once your superiors had lost confidence in you it was almost
impossible to get it back and I didn’t want to lose my chance of further promotion.
I’d already made it to detective inspector and I saw no reason why I couldn’t go
higher. Except now there was Mickey’s betrayal casting a dark shadow over my dreams.

I shrugged my shoulders and attempted a cheeky grin at Sharon. “You’re the last
person I expected to believe Mickey. I should be offended,” I said. She laughed, but it
was an empty laugh and it didn’t reach her cold eyes. “I didn’t believe him. Until
now, that is. It’s a shame really, because you were always the one person in the station
that I looked up to. I thought you were very honest and I’ve just lost a little more
faith in humanity,” she said. “But don’t worry, your dirty little secret is safe
with me.”

As I watched her turn around and go back into the station, I finally managed to take a
deep breath. Of course, I was very relieved that she wouldn’t talk and I trusted her
because I knew that, unlike me, she really was an honest person. But her words had
affected me deeply. I had lost her respect forever. I would be able to hold my head high
with everyone in the station, apart from her. Even if I ever did manage to get the
promotion I longed for, there would always be one person who knew I didn’t deserve it.

A15 Sharon was angry because

  1. Fat Mickey was threatening her
  2. she found out the writer had put her in danger
  3. she thought the writer may have harmed the case
  4. she had been tricked by Fat Mickey

A16 When the writer says “I’d been caught completely off guard” in paragraph
two, he means he

  1. reacted wrongly
  2. was seeing doing wrong
  3. wasn’t feeling confident
  4. was taken by surprise

A17 When Sharon made her accusation the writer

  1. was afraid that he looked guilty
  2. managed to persuade her that he was innocent
  3. didn’t try to defend himself
  4. succeeded in staying calm

A18 In the third paragraph, the writer implies that his mistake

  1. was Sharon’s fault
  2. should be forgiven
  3. hadn’t hurt anyone
  4. ended his marriage

A19 The writer was worried that

  1. he would lose his job
  2. his colleagues would lose their trust in him
  3. Mickey would try to hurt him
  4. Sharon’s career would be affected

A20 In paragraph six, Sharon shows that she

  1. still admired the writer
  2. would reveal what she knew
  3. felt disappointed with the writer
  4. believed the writer was innocent

A21 After his conversation with Sharon, the writer

  1. knew she would never trust him again
  2. was relieved that she would forgive him
  3. knew that he would never be promoted
  4. felt very annoyed with her

Stonehenge

B11

Not far from the city of Salisbury in the southwest of England stands Stonehenge, one of the most mysterious prehistoric monuments in Britain.

 MYSTERY

B12

Visitors love this amazing monument – about 800,000 people visit it each year!

 VISIT

B13

From the remains of tools found at the site, scientists have discovered that work started on Stonehenge about 6,000 years ago, but the gigantic stones that make it famous today were added a thousand years later.

 FAME

B14

Because there are no written records, nobody really knows why Stonehenge was built.

 REAL

B15

Some people, however, believe that it was used to calculate the movement of the sun and moon, but as one scientist has said: “Most of what has been stated about Stonehenge is nonsense.”

 MOVE

B16

So, we may never find out for sure the reason for Stonehenge’s existence.

 EXIST

Answers: accused; investigation; evidence; lawyers; proof; thief;
robberies; conviction; forgery; imprisonment.

5. Teacher: Read the sentences and then use the words in bold to complete
the sentences below.

Capital punishment is punishment by death. Techniques include the electric chair,
the gas chamber, hanging and lethal injection.

Some people believe that capital punishment acts as a deterrent. This means they
think it stops people committing murder.

The serial killer was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The police think I committed the burglary! I’m going to have to get a lawyer/solicitor.

She was arrested on suspicion of fraud, and later was officially charged with
the crime.

The court case lasted for three months before the jury found him guilty.

Judge: How do you plead?

The accused: Guilty, your Honour.

The jury found him not guilty, but nobody really thinks he is innocent.

There is lots of evidence that he did it –his fingerprints were all over the
gun, for example.

Having served 15 years in prison, Mason is to be released next week.

  1. My lawyer advised me to……guilty, but I’m not going to. I’m innocent!
  2. People imprisoned for life are usually ……after about 20 years.
  3. My……has instructed me not to discuss this case with reporters.
  4. The suspect was released without being charged due to lack of……
  5. No European country supports……Most Europeans think it’s barbaric.
  6. Losing your driving license would be a good……against drinking and driving.
  7. I’m buying a new suit. My……at the County Court starts on Monday.
  8. I can’t believe the police have……Jane with embezzlement. They must have made a
    mistake.
  9. Can you imagine being sentenced to ……and knowing you have to spend the rest of your
    life behind bars?
  10. The foreman of the jury read out the verdict. “……,” he said.

Answers: 1. plead; 2. released;3. lawyer/solicitor; 4. evidence; 5. capital
punishment; 6. deterrent; 7. case; 8. charged; 9. life imprisonment; 10. Not guilty

6. Развитие навыков поискового
чтения (с общим пониманием)

Match the headlines A-H with Texts 1-7.One headline is extra.

A. Capital Punishment

B. Shoplifting

C. Crime Prevention

D. Kidnapping

E. Frightening Changes

F. Long-Term Effect

G. Virtual Crime

Y. Guilty or not Guilty?

  1. The presumption of innocence is a legal right that the accused in criminal trials has in
    many modern countries. The burden of proof is thus on the prosecution. It has to collect
    and present enough compelling evidence to convince the jury of the fact that beyond a
    reasonable doubt the accused has broken the law. In case of remaining doubts, the accused
    is to be acquitted.
  2. Sarah and Lisa always enjoyed hanging out at the mall. But one Saturday, after shopping
    for jeans, Sarah pulled a new shirt out of her bag. Lisa didn’t remember seeing her buy
    it. “I didn’t,” Sarah told her. “I lifted it.” Lisa was upset and puzzled.
    Stealing didn’t seem like something Sarah would do. Sometimes people do not realize the
    consequences of this crime.
  3. Even families living in so-called “safe” neighborhoods are concerned. They may feel
    safe today, but there is always a reminder that violence can intrude at any moment. Polly
    Klaas and her family no doubt felt safe in Petaluma, California. But on October 1, 1993,
    she was abducted from her suburban home during a sleepover. If she can be abducted and
    murdered, so can nearly any other child.
  4. The Internet is a great place to find information, make friends, keep in touch with
    others, and do business. There always are other sides as long as there is a criminal
    element. As our world becomes more computerized and ever more interconnected, different
    kinds of computer crimes will continue to grow. These include break-ins of computers to
    get trade secrets or illegal entry for the thrill and challenge.
  5. Movie violence these days is louder and bloodier than ever before. When a bad guy was
    shot in a black-and-white Western, the most we saw was a puff of smoke and a few drops of
    fake blood. Now the sights, sounds, and special effects often jar us more than the real
    thing. Slow motion and pyrotechnics conspire to make movies and TV shows more gruesome
    than ever.
  6. University of Illinois psychologist Leonard Eron studied children at age eight and then
    again at eighteen. He found that television habits established at the age of eight
    influenced aggressive behavior through childhood and adolescent years. The more violent
    were the programs preferred by boys in the third grade, the more aggressive was their
    behavior, both at that time and ten years later.
  7. In the debate about execution and human dignity, supporters and opponents of the death
    penalty have found very little common ground. Since the 18th century, those who
    wish to abolish the death penalty have stressed the significance of requiring governments
    to recognize the importance of each individual. However, supporters of this penal practice
    see nothing wrong with governments deliberately killing terrible people who commit
    terrible crimes.

Corruption

Sharon had marched up to my desk, obviously furious, and demanded “a word outside”.
At that moment I was just curious to find out what had bothered her so much. I followed
her outside. “I’ve just paid a little visit to our old friend Fat Mickey,” she said,
“to put some pressure on him about last year’s Renfrew robbery, and he says you took
some cash to “lose” some evidence. Well?

If I’d known what was coming. I could have reacted better, but I’d been caught
completely off guard and I knew it showed. “It’s a lie,” I said, as coolly as I
could. “He’s a criminal and will say anything.” I hoped I sounded convincing but she
was looking straight at me with her sharp blue eyes and I left like a schoolboy in trouble
with the headmaster. I leaned back against the wall trying to look like I didn’t have a
care in the world, despite the fact that I was having difficulty breathing and I could
feel the beads of sweat gathering on my forehead.

Sharon was a woman I’d always admired. A tough detective and a very good one, too. It
wasn’t easy for a woman to make it as a detective and earn the respect of all her
colleagues. But it hadn’t been easy for me either, a boy from the poorest area in
Glasgow. I was a good detective, one of the best, in fact, and I’d only ever made one
mistake – taking money from Mickey. It had been just after I had split up with my wife
and I was badly in debt. I had never done anything like it before and I never intended to
do it again.

Now, as Sharon confronted me, I felt small, ugly and very guilty. I also felt

annoyed with her at the moment. What made her so perfect? Had she never put a foot
wrong anywhere? Ever? My mind raced as I tried to decide what to do. Should I tell the
truth, explain what had happened and hope she’d take my side? Or should I just brush off
the accusation and pray she didn’t tell anyone? I had no idea if this conversation could
finish off my promising career as a police officer or not.

At the end of the day it would all come down to my word against Mickey’s and he was
just a cheap criminal. But I didn’t want people whispering behind my back, wondering if
it were true, whether I really was a corrupt officer off the law. If word goes out, this
would always be on my record. Once your superiors had lost confidence in you it was almost
impossible to get it back and I didn’t want to lose my chance of further promotion.
I’d already made it to detective inspector and I saw no reason why I couldn’t go
higher. Except now there was Mickey’s betrayal casting a dark shadow over my dreams.

I shrugged my shoulders and attempted a cheeky grin at Sharon. “You’re the last
person I expected to believe Mickey. I should be offended,” I said. She laughed, but it
was an empty laugh and it didn’t reach her cold eyes. “I didn’t believe him. Until
now, that is. It’s a shame really, because you were always the one person in the station
that I looked up to. I thought you were very honest and I’ve just lost a little more
faith in humanity,” she said. “But don’t worry, your dirty little secret is safe
with me.”

As I watched her turn around and go back into the station, I finally managed to take a
deep breath. Of course, I was very relieved that she wouldn’t talk and I trusted her
because I knew that, unlike me, she really was an honest person. But her words had
affected me deeply. I had lost her respect forever. I would be able to hold my head high
with everyone in the station, apart from her. Even if I ever did manage to get the
promotion I longed for, there would always be one person who knew I didn’t deserve it.
