The USA's most wanted criminals as of Dec 2011
The FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list arose from a conversation held in late 1949 during a game of Hearts between J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, and William Kinsey Hutchinson, International News Service (the predecessor of the United Press International) Editor-in-Chief, who were discussing ways to promote capture of the FBI's "toughest guys". This discussion turned into a published article, which received so much positive publicity that on March 14, 1950, the FBI officially announced the list to increase law enforcement's ability to capture dangerous fugitives.
Individuals are removed from this list when the fugitive is captured, killed, or if the charges against them are dropped; they are then replaced by a new entry selected by the FBI. In five cases, the FBI removed individuals from the list after deciding that they were no longer a "particularly dangerous menace to society". Donald Eugene Webb, added to the list in 1981, was on the list longer than anyone, at 25 years, 10 months, and 27 days. Billie Austin Bryant spent the shortest amount of time on the list, being listed for two hours in 1969. On rare occasions, the FBI will add a "Number Eleven" if that individual is extremely dangerous but the Bureau does not feel any of the current ten should be removed.
The list is commonly posted in public places such as post offices. In some cases, fugitives on the list have turned themselves in on becoming aware of their listing. As of November 1, 2009, 494 fugitives have been listed (eight of them women), and 463 captured or located, 152 (33%) of them due to public assistance. The FBI maintains other lists of individuals, including the Most Wanted Terrorists, along with FBI Crime Alerts, Missing Persons, and other fugitive lists.

Crime in the USA
The United States has the highest documented incarceration rate, and total documented prison population in the world. As of year-end 2007, a record 7.2 million people were behind bars, on probation or on parole. Of the total, 2.3 million were incarcerated. More than 1 in 100 American adults were incarcerated at the start of 2008. The People's Republic of China ranks second with 1.5 million, while having four times the population, thus having only about 18% of the US incarceration rate.~ref: Wikipedia.org

What do you think is the main problem with the high crime rate?
Plese tell us what country you live in
What do you think should be changed?
Why are there so many people in jail?
Is the root cause problems with the law, or problems with society?
Is the imbalance of wealth a defining issue?
Are the drug laws the problem? Should they be changed?

- Interesting. I never knew when... and how... the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list began. Did you know that 11 of those on this list were captured after being profiled on the long-running TV show "America's Most Wanted"? I'm about to publish a SquidLit review of "Bringing Adam Home" , the book about the abduction and murder of Adam Walsh in 1981, and it's Adam's father - John Walsh - who has hosted AMW all these years! So, I am featuring this list on mine.

Have you ever been charged?
Misdeameanors or felonies only
A misdemeanor, or misdemeanour in many common law legal systems, is a "lesser" criminal act. Misdemeanors are generally punished much less severely than felonies, but theoretically more so than administrative infractions (also known as regulatory offenses). Many misdemeanors are punished with monetary fines.
In the United States, the federal government generally considers a crime punishable with incarceration for one year or less to be a misdemeanor.[1] All other crimes are felonies. Many states also follow this.

Alexis Flores
Alexis Flores (born June 18, 1975) is a Honduran fugitive wanted for kidnapping and murder of five-year-old Iriana DeJesus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2000. Flores is the 487th fugitive to be placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.In 2000, Flores was only identified as "Carlo" or "Carlos", a homeless drifter looking for work and a place to stay. Nearby resident Jorge Contreras offered Carlos shelter, clothing, and work as a handyman. "Carlos" had Jorge's trust, and when Contreras was going out of town, he gave "Carlos" the keys to the apartment building so he could come and go as he pleased. DeJesus disappeared the same day. According to the witness, "Carlos" and DeJesus were holding hands, indicating he had gained her trust.
DeJesus disappeared on July 29, 2000, and her body was found five days later on August 3 in an empty apartment building where "Carlos"/Flores is believed to have lived. The body was in the basement strangled, wrapped in a trash bag. In addition to official charges, police sources have confirmed that DeJesus was sexually assaulted in her final hours.
Police also found a T-shirt bearing a distinct political logo on it near Iriana's body and it had her blood on it. When police questioned Contreras about the shirt, he told them he recognized it as one of the articles of clothing he had lent to Carlos.

Jason Derek Brown
Jason Derek Brown (born July 1, 1969 or January 17, 1971[1]) is a fugitive currently wanted by the FBI for first degree murder, armed robbery and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. On December 8, 2007 he was named by the FBI as the 489th fugitive to be placed on the Ten Most Wanted list.On November 29, 2004 morning, around 10 a.m., Brown allegedly ambushed and shot an armored car guard five times in the head with a hand gun. He subsequently fled with a mountain bike through an alley with a bag of money containing $56,000 in cash. The victim, Robert Keith Palomares, a 24-year-old security guard, died at the scene. Fingerprints were found on the mountain bike, which had been abandoned in the area and these were positively identified as Brown's. On November 30, 2004 Brown then drove to his sister's house in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, then left a couple of days later.
On December 6, 2004, a federal arrest warrant was issued by the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, charging Brown with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. This marked the last day that anything is known about Jason Derek Brown's whereabouts. It is believed he left Orange County at the time.
On January 16, 2005 police recovered his Cadillac Escalade in a long stay parking lot in Portland International Airport, Oregon.
On December 13, 2005 Brown sent a large package to his brother and when his family knew about it, they notified the FBI. It contained a set of golf clubs that belonged to Brown's brother, Brown's laptop and one of his mobile phones, and his warm weather clothing. David John Brown II, the brother of Jason Derek Brown, was indicted by a federal grand jury on an Obstruction of Justice charge on April 20, 2005. Investigators believe he transported his brother's vehicle and then washed it.
While police are still not ruling out that Brown may have fled to someplace warm (such as Mexico, where he vacationed several times), detectives are now saying he could be in western Canada (another of Jason's favorite vacation spots). Brown has ties to California, Arizona, and Utah. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are cooperating with Phoenix police and the FBI to look for him in western Canada.
In September 2008, FBI confirmed that several witnesses have recently sighted Brown in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Joe Luis Saenz
Joe Luis Saenz (born August 4, 1975) - also known as Zapp, Smiley, Hunnicut, and Toro - is a fugitive currently wanted by the FBI for first degree murder, kidnapping, rape, parole violation and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. On October 19, 2009 he was named by the FBI as the 492th fugitive to be placed on the Ten Most Wanted list.According to the FBI, in 1998, Joe Luis Saenz shot and killed two rival gang members in Los Angeles for disrespecting one of the members of his gang.
Less than two weeks later, Saenz kidnapped, raped, and murdered his girlfriend and mother of his child, at his grandmother's home.
It is also believed that, in October 2008, he was involved in the murder of a Lott Stoner gang member. Earlier in August 2008, two members of the gang were stopped in Missouri by the highway patrol while driving a rental vehicle. Based on their suspicious behavior, the vehicle was searched, and troopers found $620,000 in cash in a secret panel. The money was wrapped, and marked with the name "Toro", one of Saenz's Aliases. Two months later, one of those gang members was murdered in his Whittier, CA home. It is thought that Saenz didn't believe the story that the money was confiscated by the police. The victim's home surveillance system was recording at the time of the killing. According to FBI Special Agent Scott Garriola, a 22-year veteran of the FBI, "This appeared to be a cold-blooded murder, and judging from the videotape, Saenz seemed to be enjoying himself."
Reward: $100,000
