I had a chuckle at this piece of news, it seems that even criminals are not free of acne. Having a mug shot like this splashed all over the news, is not something to strive for. But of course, acne might not be this bank robber’s primary concern right now…I went out and searched for past criminals who were acne ridden, just for a sense of trivial. This is what I found…

This guy decided to steal a $140,000 comic book collection in order to buy drugs and alcohol. He got for it a 4 year prison sentence. Luckily, the books were found and returned to their owners.

Some teens decided to steal acne face wash and it earned them 30 hours of community service. I wonder if they were trying to find a cure for their acne…

Have you heard of the Acne Bandit? It’s true, criminals are given nick names, to make them easier identifiable by the people. In many cases this practice helped catching the criminals much faster. Just like in this case.

In her book, The New Predator - Women who kill, Deborah Schurman-Kauflin says that: “Facial deformity was considered to be related to crime. Interestingly, a link has indeed been established between boys who suffer from severe acne and criminal behaviour. On the other hand, boys with no complexion problems were less likely to act against society norms”.
