In 1827 the first modern national crime statistics were published: the Compte général de l'administration de la justice criminelle en France.

While Scripture suggests the possibility of eternal loss, Kugler argues that its most relevant texts are less definitive than commonly thought.

Fear is so much a part of the human experience that we may think there's no escape.
