Hostage
–
A hostage is a person or entity which is held by one of two belligerent parties to the other or seized as security for the carrying out of an agreement, or as a preventive measure against war. A person who seizes one or more hostages is known as a hostage-taker, if the hostages are present voluntarily, then the receiver is known as a host. These obligations would be in the form of signing of a peace treaty and this would eventually influence them culturally and open the way for an amicable political line if they ascended to power after release. This caused the element gīsl = hostage in many old Germanic personal names, the practice was also commonplace in the Imperial Chinese tributary system, especially between the Han and Tang dynasties. The practice continued through the early Middle Ages, the Irish High King Niall of the Nine Hostages got his epithet Noígiallach because, by taking nine petty kings hostage, he had subjected nine other principalities to his power. This practice was adopted in the early period of the British occupation of India. The practice of taking hostages as security for the out of a treaty between civilized states is now obsolete. In France, after the revolution of Prairial, the law of hostages was passed. Relatives of émigrés were taken from disturbed districts and imprisoned, and were liable to execution at any attempt to escape. Sequestration of their property and deportation from France followed on the murder of a republican, four to every such murder, the law only resulted in an increase in the insurrection. Napoleon in 1796 had used similar measures to deal with the insurrection in Lombardy, another case where hostages have been taken in modern warfare has been the subject of much discussion. The measure seems to have been effective, in 1900 during the Second Boer War, by a proclamation issued at Pretoria, Lord Roberts adopted the plan for a similar reason, but shortly afterwards it was abandoned. The Germans also, between the surrender of a town and its occupation, took hostages as security against outbreaks of violence by the inhabitants. It may be noticed, however, that the hostages would suffer should the acts aimed at be performed by the authorized belligerent forces of the enemy, the regulations, however do not allude to the practice of taking hostage. In May 1871, at the close of the Paris Commune and it was an act of maniacal despair, on the defeat at Mont Valrien on the 4 April and the entry of the army into Paris on the 21 May. Taking hostages is today considered a crime or an act of terrorism, the criminal activity is known as kidnapping. An acute situation where hostages are kept in a building or a vehicle that has taken over by armed terrorists or common criminals is often called a hostage crisis. Common Article 3 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions states that the taking of hostages during a conflict is a war crime and shall remain prohibited at any time

It had made little effort to relieve its staff shortage until the breakage of the Oregon land fraud scandal at approximately the turn of the 20th Century, President Roosevelt instructed Attorney General Charles Bonaparte to organize an autonomous investigative service that would report only to the Attorney General. Bonaparte reached out to other agencies, including the Secret Service, for personnel, on May 27,1908, the Congress forbade this use of Treasury employees by the Justice Department, citing fears that the new agency would serve as a secret police department. Again at Roosevelts urging, Bonaparte moved to organize a formal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Investigation was created on July 26,1908, after the Congress had adjourned for the summer. Attorney General Bonaparte, using Department of Justice expense funds, hired thirty-four people, including veterans of the Secret Service.

Bank robbery
–
For the song by The Clash, see Bankrobber. Bank robbery is the crime of stealing money from a bank, while bank employees and customers are subjected to force, violence. This most commonly refers to robbery of a branch as opposed to other bank-owned property, such as a train, armored car. By contrast, burglary is defined as, unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft, Bank robbery is defined as entering a bank when it is open and obtaining money from the teller either by using force or the threat of force. Breaking into a bank when it is closed is burglary, Bank robbery occurs in cities and towns. This concentration is often attributed to there being more branches in urban areas and this has advantages both for bank robbers and for law enforcement. In urban areas the transportation infrastructure is highly developed, especially where banks tend to cluster near retail shopping areas. Such banks are highly profitable targets for robbers, who are then afforded a number of escape routes. Law enforcement benefit by being able to more quickly. Consequently, many bank robbers are caught the same day, the clearance rate for bank robbery is among the highest of all crimes, at nearly 60%. The urban location of the crime also contributes to its repeat victimization profile, the Australian Institute of Criminology analyzed trends in bank robbery over a four-year period. Unarmed gangs inflicted the most injuries to victims and failed the least in their robbery attempts, armed robbers used a disguise more often compared to unarmed robbers, with armed pairs employing disguises most often. According to the Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics injuries occur in about two percent and a death occurs in less than one percent of all U. S. bank robberies, violent takeover bank robberies that are often portrayed in the media are rare. The majority of bank robberies taking place today are so-called note jobs and these are usually accomplished by simply passing a written note to the teller demanding money. The idea is to attract as little attention as possible, in most cases, other customers present in the bank during a robbery are unaware of what is occurring. Standard bank policy is to avoid violence as much as possible, so they will hand over the money. The robber usually makes away with cash, but in small amounts, according to British Bankers Association data, in 2007 there were 106 attempted or successful robberies in Britain in which an average of 1.6 persons were involved. According to the New York Times and the Saturday Evening Post, two men, James Honeyman and William J. Murray, entered the City Bank of New York using forged keys
