‎[Mesrine] – ADAMIK (Guy).‎

‎Mesrine, la dernière cavale.‎

‎Flammarion, 2008, gr. in-8°, 383 pp, broché, couv. illustrée, bon état, bande conservée‎

‎Idole des jeunes ? Proto-terroriste ? Bande à Bonnot à lui seul ? Jesse James des QHS ? Homme à abattre, Mesrine fut tout cela à la fois. Quarante ans après sa mort porte de Clignancourt, "Le Grand" a toujours autant la côte. Mythe ultime du voyou, son "blase" restera à jamais gravé en lettres d'or dans le marbre noir de la Grande Histoire du Crime. Parce qu'il était devenu une bête de scène (médiatique), parce qu'il a fait trembler le sommet de l'Etat et flipper tous les flics de France (et du Canada), parce qu'il était un dieu vivant pour les uns et un monstre incontrôlable pour les autres, l'aventure parfois terrifiante de cet antihéros n'a pas fini de nous ensorceler. Mais au-delà du mythe, qui était Jacques Mesrine ? Combien d'hommes a-t-il vraiment tués ? A-t-il commis des crimes crapuleux ? Quelles relations entretenait-il avec la Mafia ? A-t-il bénéficié d'appuis maoïstes et policiers ? La police a-t-elle agi au-dessus des lois ? Pour quelles raisons a-t-il été vraisemblablement exécuté le 2 novembre 1979 ? Récit d'aventure autant qu'enquête d'investigation, Mesrine. La dernière cavale apporte un éclairage nouveau pour mieux cerner les dessous de l'affaire.‎

‎[Mesrine] – NAIN (Jacques).‎

‎La traque de Jacques Mesrine, l'ennemi public n° 1. Un flic de l'antigang témoigne.‎

‎L'Esprit du Livre, 2008, gr. in-8°, 208 pp, préface du commissaire Charles Pellegrini, photos et documents en fac-similé dans le texte, broché, couv. illustrée, bon état‎

‎Pendant dix-huit mois, l'enfant perdu de la guerre d'Algérie, le rebelle des quartiers de haute sécurité, le roi de la cavale, braqueur, kidnappeur et assassin, a défié les institutions et les pouvoirs publics. L'homme aux mille visages, véritable caméléon, s'est mis en scène. Par le biais des médias, il est devenu l'acteur d'un scénario qu'il avait lui-même imaginé avec l'espoir de devenir un mythe. Jacques Nain, ancien officier de police, a participé, avec l'unité anti-Mesrine, à la traque fatale de l'ennemi public n° 1. Il nous entraîne dans une chasse à l'homme haletante et dévoile la personnalité complexe du criminel, au-delà de la légende. Le témoignage sans concession de cet ancien flic de l'antigang nous conduit de la date de l'évasion de Mesrine de La Santé, le 8 mai 1978, à la fusillade du 2 novembre 1979, porte de Clignancourt, à Paris, où l'ennemi public n° 1 a trouvé la mort. Le légendaire Mesrine a-t-il été assassiné ?‎

‎[Mesrine] – SIMON (Jean-Marc).‎

‎Jacques Mesrine dit le Grand.‎

‎Editions Jacob-Duvernet, 2008, gr. in-8°, 402 pp, broché, couv. illustrée, bon état. Tome 1 seul (sur 2) : 1936-1973. Le tome 2 couvre la période 1973-1979.‎

‎De fait, pour bien comprendre un homme, dans ses actes et donc son fonctionnement intime, il faut certes prendre le temps d'étudier et de vérifier son aventure, mais aussi de l'observer et de l'écouter. Tel est le parti pris de cette biographie, particulièrement fouillée. Instruisant à charge et à décharge, recoupant les récits des témoins à la lumière des deux ouvrages de Jacques Mesrine (L'Instinct de mort, Coupable d'être innocent), Jean-Marc Simon propose ici un portrait nuancé et sensible d'un truand à la fois redoutable et séducteur, d'un homme imprévisible et pourtant attaché aux traditions, d'un globe-trotter prisonnier de son territoire. Voleur et kidnappeur, génie du braquage et provocateur, manipulateur mais aussi enfant perdu de son époque (la guerre d'Algérie, 68, les années de plomb), cet « homme paradoxe » voit ainsi son parcours et sa personnalité enfin restitués dans toute leur complexité.‎

‎Crimes et criminalité en France sous l'Ancien Régime, 17e-18e siècles. Contributions de A. Abbiateci, F. Billacois, Y. Bongert, N. Castan, Y. Castan, P. Petrovitch.‎

‎Armand Colin, 1971, gr. in-8°, 268 pp, cartes et tableaux, une planche dépliante hors texte, bibliographie par régions et par délits, broché, couv. lég. salie, bon état (Coll. Cahiers des Annales)‎

‎"Six études portant sur des délits spécifiques (l'incendie et le duel) et sur l'ensemble du phénomène criminel, étudié par sondage sur les pièces d'instruction. Bien que rare, le duel est loin d'être négligeable, puisque, de 1700 à 1725, le Parlement de Paris a jugé 100 procès pour « duels, appels en duel ou complicité de duel ». Cela représente 1/10e des procès pour violences mortelles et 1/16e du total des causes criminelles. C'est surtout dans l'armée que subsiste le duel. La criminalité familiale, par contre, est assez répandue, tout au moins en Languedoc. Dans les affaires de meurtre, l'assassin et la victime sont le plus souvent de la même famille, la rivalité étant alors due à des questions de patrimoine. Malgré cette tension, les liens, en cas de menace extérieure, se resserrent brusquement. Qu'il soit paysan ou seigneur, le père de famille mobilise à ses côtés ses fils adultes qu'il charge de commettre des vols ou même des assassinats : il s'agit de préserver l'honneur. La criminalité à Paris, semble, au premier abord, être faible, puisque 87 % des délits poursuivis durant les 4 années étudiées (1755, 1765, 1775 et 1785) sont des vols généralement sans importance (mouchoirs, montres, linge...). Le crime contre les personnes ne représente que 7 % des cas. En fait, la place des violences dans la criminalité légale est nettement plus grande qu'aujourd'hui (plus de 5 % pour la période étudiée, contre moins de 1 % en 1961-65). Pour certains historiens, la société est passée d'une criminalité de la violence à une criminalité de la fraude. Autre caractéristique intéressante de l'époque : la délinquance sénile. La criminalité connaît en effet une poussée au 3e âge (au-delà de 50 ans) due vraisemblablement à l'isolement et à la misère..." (J.-C. Chesnais, Population, 1973)‎
