FINDING THE CRIMINAL

The police find most criminals because somebody tells them who the criminals are. They find other criminals by using scienceand their computers. When there is a bank robbery, the police first look through their computers for the names of bank robbers they know about. Then they go and talk to any of these robbers who are not in gaol.

They ask them where they were at the time of the robbery. If any of these people cannot give a good answer, the police will often use science to find out if one of them is the robber. Many criminals leave something of themselves at the place of the crime, like a fingerprintor a hair. Or they take something away on their shoes or clothes, like dirt or animal hair. If they leave behind some of their blood or a hair or a piece of skin, it will have their DNAinside it.

Everyone's DNA is different in the same way that their fingerprints are different. Therefore, if a criminal cuts himself during a robbery or leaves a hair, or even a small piece of skin, scientists can find out what his DNA is. The police can then ask the person they think is the robber to give them one of his hairs or some blood and see if it has the same DNA. Many criminals are in gaol today because of this kind of evidence.

COMPUTER CRIME

Computers can help many workers. They can also help thieves. There was one thief who worked in a United States bank. He paid for everything he needed by cheque. Then he told the computer not to take any money from his account for the cheques he wrote. The bank's computer did what he said. It gave the shops money for his cheques, but it did not take any money from his bank account. One day the computer broke down. People had to do the computer's work. They soon found out what was happening.

Another thief who worked for a bank saw people filling in deposit forms. Many of these people did not know their account numbers, so they wrote only their names on the forms. They left an empty place for their account numbers. The thief wrote his own account number in this place. When the computer read these forms, it looked only at the account numbers. It did not look at the customers' names. It paid the money on these deposit forms into the thief's account. Then there was the bank worker who told the bank computer to take ten cents off every customer's account each month and put it into his own account. For a long time the bank's customers did not notice that they were losing ten cents every month. But then someone did notice and told the bank. That was the end of that little game!

No one really knows how much computer crime is costing the banks, but some people believe it is millions of dollars a year.

HIJACK!

Some people are afraid of flying. They are worried that the plane will crash or that someone may hijack it. A person who hijacks a plane usually says he will blow up the plane if he does not get money. Sometimes hijackers do not want money, however. They want other things. They sometimes want their friends let out of gaol or to go to another country.

The first hijacking happened on the 16th June 1948 on a plane travelling from Macau to Hong Kong. Some men with guns told the pilot they wanеed money. The pilot fought them but the hijackers shot him. The plane trashed into the sea and nearly everyone in it died. Only one man lived. His name was Wong-yu Man. When the police brought the plane out of the sea, they looked at it very carefully and found bullet holes in the walls of the plane; they knew then that there had been a hijack.

A policeman sat near Wong-yu Man's bed in the hospital. Before long, Wong-yu started to talk in his sleep. 'Where are my men? ' he said. 'Are they all right? Did they get the money? ' The policeman wrote everything down. He knew Wong-yu's words meant something. He thought Wong-yu was one of the hijackers. He was right. When Wong-yu came out of hospital, he went to gaol for a long time.
