In 2018, Austria - a country of roughly 9 million people and 32,000 square miles with a diverse population, especially around its capital of Vienna - recorded 70 homicides, a increase of more than 20 percent over the previous year.

If you've been stopped while driving or cited for a crime, chances are that you have received a North Carolina Uniform Citation, a single page document that, front and back, explains the charge or charges that have been issued against you. If you've received a citation, you haven't been arrested and detained, but you have...
The United States Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina announced nearly two dozen arrests in a federal drug trafficking ring at UNC, Duke, and Appalachian State this month in conduct he is calling "astonishing." The arrests triggered initial appearances in federal court in Greensboro this month, and additional arrests may follow as prosecutors...

Florida law enforcement has arrested a seventeen-year-old in Florida who they say is the "linchpin" of a hack that resulted in multiple hacked Twitter accounts in July. President Obama, Elon Musk, who himself has been subject to federal investigations for SEC violations, and Joe Biden are among those whose accounts were briefly taken over. The...
Today in his testimony before Congress, Attorney General Bill Barr confirmed through his non-denial denial what we all know: That the Trump administration plans to use the 1970s-era Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act to prosecute Antifa.
