UPDATE

 

I'm proud to announce I've begun an exciting new endeavor.  I'm writing a weekly crime and justice newspaper column.  I've also begun an association with The Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/diane-dimond/ where you can become a Dimond fan, leave a comment or start some buzz about my work.  

 

 You can also find all the columns right here. 

 

My column first began appearing in the Albuquerque Journal - the hometown newspaper I grew up reading.  The Journal and its wonderful editor, Kent Walz, launched the Saturday column with a splash, including above-the-mastehead headshots which guided readers to their newest Op-Ed columnist - Me!

 

The idea behind the weekly offering is not to rehash the crime du jour (although I might throw in my two cents worth!) rather, the column centers on big-issue crime themes that affect American's daily lives. I also hope to shed real light on parts of the criminal justice system you may not be aware of.

 

Content changes weekly so check back often and pass this link on to all your friends!

 

If you are an editor looking for a relevant new columnist contact me here.

The Childhood Home

 

Sometimes crime just has to take a back seat.  

 

This column isn’t about crime but it is about life and death.

 

For 18 months I’ve put it off.  I mean, what do you do with a childhood house full of memories after you lose both your parents?

Calling All Feminists - Say Something!!

  

Ok, so I just checked the official website of the National Organization for Women.  Not a word about the Elliott Spitzer sex scandal and resignation. The lead story of their “Hot Topics” news section is a week old fluff piece about Hillary Clinton’s primary wins in Ohio and Texas. 

 

And I guess we won’t be hearing from, Marcia Pappas, the President of the New York Chapter of NOW either.  She’s the one I recently wrote about who immediately and fiercely jumped on Senator Ted Kennedy for endorsing Barack Obama for President.  By denying Hillary the nod, Marcia declared, Teddy K. had committed the “ultimate betrayal” of all women.  Funny, Marcia didn’t seem to remember the Massachusetts senator walking away from a sinking car in a place called Chappaquiddick as a more important “betrayal” of a woman – but I digress.

 

It’s as if these feminists don’t think the Spitzer issue affects women!

Crime And The Candidates 

 

Why isn’t there a hue and cry across the land about the crime rate in this country?

 

If true leadership starts at the top why aren’t any of the presidential candidates talking about crime in America? Why aren’t any of them proposing an anti-crime plan along with their Iraq package, their health care ideas and their Social Security solutions?   It is something that affects all of us every single day - and its getting worse.

An Anniversary of Murder

 

I have a friend named Danielle – Dani for short.  She’s a tiny, beautiful blonde thing and she is celebrating an anniversary.

 

March 6th marks the 15th anniversary of her mother’s murder.  To this day the case remains unsolved.
