Summary

* Although the headlines fade, the humiliation, vulnerability, and sometimes chilling smugness of the mug shot stands the test of time. Busted presents more than 500 of the most famous, surprising, disturbing, and just plain pathetic mug shots in history.* Name and date of arrest are provided, but also here are the fascinating, shocking, and sometimes ludicrous stories of the circumstances that led to each arrest, and occasionally details of the trial and punishment (or merely the humble apology) that followed.* Alleged criminals from all walks of life, and from the last 150 years, face front and turn to the left for the camera in this enthralling slice of social history. Among the alleged perpetrators are James Brown, Lenny Bruce, Al Capone, Jeffery Dahmer, Eminem, Mick Jagger, Malcom X, Al Pacino, Charles Barkley, Elvis Presley, Bernie Madoff, Bugsy Siegel, Tupac Shakur, Roger Clinton, and hundreds more. &n
