The text reports a personal reflection in which the author says they have dealt with many criminals, noting that the “bad ones” are often easier to catch. It frames the discussion around characterising offenders rather than recounting a specific case, with the author contrasting “cold-hearted killers” against other criminals.
Across the outlets provided, the framing and wording are the same: all three publish the same headline and the same brief summary. There are no additional details in the supplied excerpts about where the author worked, which incidents are referenced, or what evidence supports the generalisations. The only consistent “angle” is the author’s broad assessment that most criminals are ordinary and “often quite pathetic,” while acknowledging that some people commit more extreme violence.
No differences between sources are apparent from the information supplied.
